Chromatic Blues Harp

I play diatonic blues harp and I'm interested in playing chromatic. I've noticed that some chromatic harps are sold in different keys. Does this mean I can play chromatic harp without the slide if I'm in the proper cross harp position just like diatonic harp? I was wondering if players such as Little Walter only play chromatic. And if they do, do they commonly use the slide?

I was told that maybe I should use Marine Band Solo Tuned, but I've noticed they are only sold in the key of C. Does this harp have a chromatic sound?

Thanks

Keith
