Well I guess it must be me then!

I bought two (dictated by almost prohibitive C2C postal costs to the UK - almost as much shipping cost as harmonica cost), one in C and one in G and by comparison to my Suzuki Humming Tremolo I find both of them very poor.  I have to fiddle around with the angle to get clear notes and even then I have to blow/suck harder and I cannot do it consistently.  There seems to be lots of air leakage - my admittedly inexperienced diagnosis.

With my Suzuki I just put it in my mouth and go.  What am I doing wrong?  Or judging by everybody else's glowing reports, is it just that I have got two Friday-afternoon harmonicas?

Best Regards

Dave

<snip> I just got my Hohner Echo Celeste tremolo in C. .....I will say however, it sounds beautiful - very nice indeed.  Anyone else try this. What is everyone else playing in a tremolo?
