Do you really like a chrom for the blues? Personally, I don't like a chrom for the blues. To my ears it misses the typical sound of the diatonic and its bends that I especially like in harmonica blues. I know players like Little Walter etc. sometimes used a chrom, but I like their songs played with a chrom much less then the songs in which a diatonic is used.
