Overview
Folk players and travelers get two harmonicas in one with the Hohner Echo, a double sided tremolo harp in C and G. Slightly detuned reed pairs create its sweet, shimmering sound, and a lacquered maple comb holds up to use.
Two keys in one compact harp make it a convenient travel and singalong instrument. The tremolo design suits melodies and folk songs rather than blues bending.
Who it's for
Campfire players, folk musicians and anyone learning simple melodies will enjoy the sound. Blues harp players need a standard diatonic harmonica.
Pros and cons
- Two keys in one instrument

- Durable lacquered maple comb
- Compact and light

- Only two keys
Performance notes
The tremolo effect comes from pairs of reeds tuned slightly apart, which beat against each other for a wavering tone. Flipping the harp switches between the C and G sides.
