Tremola double sided harmonica

I've never seen one like that. Have you played it yet?

I have given it a very quick tryout, it sounds very similar to my Hohner Echo Harp so maybe there's something in what you say Rex. I had never seen one before either. As it was in the keys of D/A and the bidding didn't go up too high I thought I'd give it a shot.By the way the Swan harmonica that came with it turned out to be much better than I expected. In the UK you can pick one up for about £6 so I wasn't expecting too much, but it's really not a bad harmonica.

Hi Sebastian, Thanks for the Echo Harp info. I've never gone too deeply into playing it. The C/G Echo was one I bought after hearing them on YouTube and really liking the sound of them. I play tin whistle so their "squeeze box" type sound makes it ideal to use as an accompaniment. As a lot of Irish music is often played in the key or G or D so the G side of the Echo harp has seen a lot more use. Tin whistles can play in two major keys. The most common one, the D whistle will also play in the key of G. They can play in Em and Am too. It was the D side of the "Tremola" that attracted me to it to give me a bit more scope with my YouTube posts. When I want to play the melody on harmonica I'll usually pick up a solo tuned harmonica.

I play some tabor pipe (well, lousily ), and it is similar in this regard to the tin whistle.

I see. Than what I wrote does not make much sense for your playing.

Rex Not at all. (I would wish a native speaker would eventually revise the text, but the sample tunes themselves are, I hope, illustrative enough.)

Yes, it’s a typically medieval instrument: It plays in the high register and is loud enough by itself to be heard over the dub and the dancers. I like the Generation’s one.

I, too, don’t understand the Hohner tables.

Did you buy the small double-sided harmonica or the big one? I would very much like to know the note layout of the bigger Echo Harp. I think they added only some higher notes, but I would like to know.

I sure feel dumb hanging out with you folks!!!
