Re: Tremolo Harps

In my experience, my Suzuki Humming Tremolo (certainly Asian) is as 
strongly tremolo as my Hohner Double Echo, and possibly just a touch 
stronger.  My Hohner Echo Celeste is probably the same as my Suzuki, but 
it is a much sweeter sound overall than either.  My Tombo 1521's (also 
Asian) are quite a bit less tremolo'd than any others which I have.  My 
Tombo 3121's are probably as tremolo'd as all but my 1521's, but less 
consistently so.  My Huang Muzette (also Asian) is quite a bit more 
tremolo'd than any of the others.

If you are looking for a drier tremolo, the single instrument I can 
suggest just-out-of-the-box is the Tombo 1521.
