C2C is definetly the place for harmonicas anymore. 
 
Interesting that E major is a very popular key at your church.
Isn't the usual range for congregation singing Bb to D. Of course
there are always exceptions. I can think of a few we do in
E and a few more in Eb and most are lower. 
 
Let us know what you think about this tremolo.

Well, I found yesterday that I had some money for tremolo.  I need an E major very badly, it is the key we are using about half the time at church these days.  

Tombo 3121 in all keys is available for the asking, only via long-distance phone call, from Harmonicas Direct in Yorkshire (UK), but I didn't want to wait that long, and I've gotten used to the higher quality of Tombo 1521 and Suzuki Humming.  I've asked Norman about this before, and he has not been interested in investigating more 3121 keys than he talks about on his web site.

There is a large Japanese web shop, http://www.ishibashi-music.com/ , which will deal in English via email, but I wasn't in the mood to try a new untried source and payment method.

As a last resort, I tried Coast To Coast Music, and lo and behold, they are carrying the Hohner Echo Celeste Tremolo, in all keys.  I have yet to find a single report anywhere as to how it is tuned.  But it's only US$15 (plus $5 shipping), which makes it by far the least expensive tremolo in E major by a major make.

So I bought one.  We shall see what these things really are :)
