Hohner Echo Harp 56/96 C-G
This Echo Harp harmonica belongs to the category of tremolo harmonicas. These and the octave harmonicas are 2-voice instruments, where each blow and draw note is produced by two reeds sounding simultaneously. In the case of the Octave models, each reed of a pair is tuned exactly one octave apart, creating a full, voluminous sound.
The Hohner Echo Harp is a tremolo harmonica, typical of central European folklore but perfectly suited to any modern style. From Do to Sun. Hohner has revived the tradition of classic tremolo harmonicas, and created an instrument with a wider scale with this luxury instrument. The Hohner Echo Harp is a tremolo harmonica, a type of harmonica that uses two reeds for each note, which are slightly out of tune, giving it the classic tremolo sound.
