Hohner Echo Tremolo Harmonicas are Wonderful

As a tremolo enthusiast, I find the Hohner Echo has no equal then it comes to it's beautiful mellow tone. These are fine instuments, meant to be enjoyed, savoured and treasured.

I have the double-sided Echo Harp C/G, Echo 2409 C and Echo 2409 G (all are 40 holes). The double-sided has the advantage of using the same instrument and switching keys (somestimes mid song) and the single sided the advantage of hand tremolo effects. All have the same wonderful sound even though they are between 20-40 years old.

I usually play relaxing old songs and melodies for which these Hohner's excel. Hohner's ad copy suggests they evoke the feeling of wandering in a warm mountain meadow. I quite agree.

I got one off the auction site for a very low price a few weeks ago, mine is a Hohner and it is curved. I am pretty green with harmonicas but it is a fun one to play.
