My Suzuki Humming Tremolo is one of my very favorites. If it weren't quite so expensive it would be my very favorite :) I do wonder if my H.T. has a 'wetter' tremolo than your Two-Timer. I like my H.T.'s tremolo, it is comparable to the tremolo that my Hohner Double Echo used to have before the wood started to fall apart :) Dave, would you feel comfortable writing a full review of the Suzuki Two-Timer for the web site? The relevant page is here: http://joshuacorps.org/projects/thetremolo/reviews.html By the way, everyone, Harmonicas Direct (.uk) is now offering the Suzuki H.T. in all major and minor keys!!! At quite a bit less cost than Tombo Band 1521, I might add, and I do like the sound of the H.T. better than the 1521. I'll be updating The Tremolo about that shortly.
