  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.

I do not own but would like to order a few tremolo harmonicas

 I understand from a tremolo player
that the Hohner Tremolo harmonicas ( he does not mention the Celeste 
as the information is 2 years old) are wetter tuned than the Asian 
harmonicas such as the Tombo. Meaning, of course, that the 
differential in tuning between pairs of reeds is tighter on the Asian 
Harmonicas..therefore drier.  

I would prefer this "drier" tremolo.

Can anyone confirm this to be true?
And is the Hohner Celeste also "wet" tuned like other Hohners.

Thanks

Jeff
