Hohner Tremolo Harmonica - M254001 Ocean Star 48
|
|
|
|
The M254001 Ocean Star 48 48 is an inexpensive introductory tremolo model from Hohner with 48 reeds. |
Tremolo tuned harmonicas are mainly used in traditional folk music. Blow and draw notes are situated in adjacent holes and the individual channel openings are horizontally divided into two, whereby the upper and lower half each contain one blow or draw note which sound simultaneously, in contrast to the single note arrangement used in Richter harmonicas. These notes are tuned to the same pitch but a few cents apart, so that they create a tremolo effect when played together. The resulting sound is characterized by a light, pulsating quality which is pleasing to the ear.
The Exotic Tremolo
Tremolo is an important stylistic element for the sound of the harmonica in Asian folk music, as well as in traditional Scottish and Irish music. The wistful, floating sound of the Ocean Star creates a sonic landscape which is both exotic and familiar, with a wide, slow tremolo which is perfect for poignant melodies as well as evoking warm nights under the stars. The ideal beginners’ tremolo harmonica and the right choice for Asian and Celtic folk music.
Slow Tremolo Effect
Particulary slow tremolo effect and adjusted tonal layout for Asian and Celtic melodies
