I now own a set of Huang Musette Tremolos in C and C#.  I love the 
idea of being able to learn to play chromatically with the stacked 
harps, but the *amount* of tremolo tends to be disconcerting. In 
other words, there is a LOT of fluttering between the two draw and 
blow notes.  How is the tuning for a tremolo harp setup?  I'd like 
to tweak the tuning just enough to make the tremolo more subtle, but 
I'm not sure about how the harps are typically tuned between the top 
and bottom draw/blow holes.  Is the upper reed flatter/sharper than 
the bottom?

Any thoughts?
