Hello all I'm knew to playing tremolo harmonica but not knew to harmonica. I've played short harps for about 25 or 30 years. What got me interested in tremolo was Celtic music. Plus the tremolo is a underdog harp and i always like taking up for the underdog. I got an old tremolo Hohner Preciosa gave to me about 6 months ago and never picked it up until about a month ago. It's got a wonderful sound for folk tunes and the like. I was hooked on the tremolo from that point on. But not wanting to wear out my old tremolo made some where in the mid 30' to 40's as near as i can tell. I order the Suzuki 2 timer and it's a very nice playing harp very air tight, reeds respond well and tuning is nice. The only thing i don't like about is that it don't have as nice as a tremolo effect as the old preciosa. But if you like a dry tremolo i would recommend this harp for any one interested in getting started with tremolo or just wanting to get a second harp. You can never have to many good harps but you can get all the bad harps you want for a lot more money. I bought an octave tune Marine Band harp back in the early 80's and those's things are around 40 bucks now. You better have some good lungs to play that thing. Thats why i have not tried another dual reed harmonica until now. But the 2 timer is just as easy to blow as a 10 short harp. Great harps they are i tell ya. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo!
