German harmonica, what kind is it?

Hello everyone,

I've found an old harmonica which my mother bought perhaps 40 years ago or something, it says VALENCIA in big letters and "Germany" blow them so I guess it's made in old west germany. I've been trying to learn this thing by myself and I've managed to figure out the beginning of Jingle Bells, but then it stops because I've gotten C, D, E, F and then everything gets weird, I've been trying to find a guide how to play on the internet but of what I have learnt there are different kinds of harmonicas. Mine has 32 spaces, 16 spaces on two rows. Could anyone tell me what kind it is or perhaps even give me a link to some good tutorial?

Thanks!

Does yours have a button on the side? If it does than it's a chromatic if it doesn't it's a diatonic. What key it's in is usually on the harmonica. If you can't find that it's the first note on the harmonica when blowing.
