Overview
Not a blues harp, the Hohner Golden Melody Tremolo pairs slightly detuned reeds to give the classic wavering tremolo sound. A red plastic comb resists climate changes, and rounded covers and comb sit comfortably against the lips.
The tremolo shimmer and retro gold styling suit melody playing in folk, pop and country songs. Bending notes the blues way is not what tremolo reed pairs are built for.
Who it's for
Melody players and fans of retro Hohner styling get a tremolo voice in a comfortable rounded body. Blues players chasing bends should stay with a diatonic harp.
Pros and cons
- Detuned reed pairs give tremolo shimmer

Performance notes
Each note sounds from two reeds tuned slightly apart, and the beating between them creates the wavering tremolo. The plastic comb does not swell with moisture, so airtightness stays steady over time.
