The Tremolo Fan Club Thread

(1/107) > >>

Keith:
It's just been brought to my attention that there isn't a Tremolo Fan Club thread - until now.  ;D

So all you players of these intriguing instruments can post about them here.
(We can include all double reed harmonicas.)

I own two Seydel Fanfare-S, one in C, the other in D, plus a Tombo Band 21 in G, & two Suzuki SU21 in C, & A.

I find them good for slow tunes & Folk music.

I play tremolo harps more than any other type. Tuesday evening I will be playing an hour of Christmas music at a local light display, mostly on tremolo harps. My fifth year there. My Youtube channel is mostly tremolo harp.

Here is a Christmas concert I played in several years ago, mostly on tremolo. The acoustics in the old church building were great. I have better arrangements now and also I have some Richter tremolo harps for better chording on some of these tunes.

Hi ,

I made a mistake and regret wasting my money in buying a very very cheap ( $4) tremolo harp in a nearby local store. I considered it worse than a Toy harp. I was just curious that time on how it will sound compare to a diatonic and chromatic harp. ( Curiosity killed the cat )  :) :)

@beads
Nice playing. :)

I see that Swan and Easttop also make tremolos. Also I have read that the chinese models have a 'drier' tuning (less difference between the pitch of the pair or reeds) than the big brands. So has anyone here tried out a Swan or an Easttop and how do they compare. A big consideration would be the tuning and how well they stay in tune, because I certainly wouldn't like to have to retune all those little reeds.
