Hohner Tremolo Harmonicas

Tremolo Tuned Harmonicas

Alpenecho, Big Valley, Bravi Alpini, Echo Tremolo, Echo Harp,
Golden Melody Tremolo
, Goliath, Highlander, Kreuzwender, 21 Tremolo Deluxe, O Fado Portuguese, Rheingold, Tremolo Soloist, Warranty.

DISCONTINUED ITEMS

Hohner Tremolo tuning gives the characteristic "vibrato" sound of folk music by having each reed paired with another at almost identical pitch. The slightly "out of tune" second reed causes the notes to beat against each other, giving the tremolo effect. The more in tune the second reed is to the first, the slower the beating effect will be. Each hole in the comb of the harmonica has a horizontal divider similar to the octave tuned harmonicas.

All Tremolo harmonicas have a wooden (maple) comb except 21 Tremolo Deluxe, Golden Melody and
Big Valley which have plastic combs.

Tuning Charts

On all Tremolo models, a particular vertical pair of holes sounds ONLY WHEN BLOWN and its horizontal neighbouring pair will sound ONLY when drawn. One can think of the holes as grouped in "fours" or of single holes divided vertically and horizontally to help visualise this. See diagram below:

Blow upper reed 1
Draw upper reed 1
Blow lower reed 1
Draw lower reed 1


This pattern is then repeated across the whole range of the instrument:

Blow upper reed 1
Draw upper reed 1
Blow upper reed 2
Draw upper reed 2
Blow upper reed 3
Draw upper reed 3
Blow lower reed 1
Draw lower reed 1
Blow lower reed 2
Draw lower reed 2
Blow lower reed 3
Draw lower reed 3

....and so on. Note that the "blow" holes will make no sound when drawn, and the "draw" holes make no sound when blown.

Please note, the paint on the front of the wooden comb is a decorative layer which is prone to wear when played even for a short time. It is therefore considered usual wear and tear if this paint comes off. This paint is a harmless substance which is approved for use in objects contacting the mouth by the German Health department. Under German and European manufacturing Health and Safety regulations, a stronger type of paint cannot be used.

TREMOLO SOLOIST

With the Tremolo Soloist, Hohner have developed a new top-quality model which will delight players of folk songs, evergreens and pop. In contrast to tradititional tremolo instruments, the “solo tuning” offers the complete major scale in both upper and lower octaves, which makes it possible to also play your favorite tunes in the lower register on both sides (C major and G major).The traditional high-quality maple wooden comb has been completely laquered inside and out with a special dark blue varnish which ensures that it not only looks great, but also repels water and prevents warping. The box is fitted with a modern magnetic closure and features a lively and attractive motif. The “Tremolo Soloist” is rounded off by stainless steel covers to create a harmonious and decorative overall impression and offers new musical possibilities for lovers of folk music and evergreens.

Completely sealed maple comb (Blue sapphire lacquer), length 11.8 cm, engraved and embossed stainless steel cover plates with 8 vent holes per plate, 2 x 16 double holes/64 reeds (2 x 32), 0.9 mm brass reed plates.
