HOHNER Echo-Harp CG 2x48 (opened)

Torn, unsightly box. The goods inside are new and in good condition.

Echo 2x48 is a model of double-sided harmonica from Tremolo series of German brand Hohner. It essentially offers two (C/G) tremolo harmonicas in one body. Its warm, vibrant, sound will please even experienced players with high standards.

The body of the instrument is made of maple wood. The double varnish prevents moisture absorption and subsequent expansion of the wood. The harmonica also features stainless steel covers, 96 (2x48) brass heads, 0.9 mm thick brass slices and a range of three and a half octaves. The instrument is tuned in C and G and uses Richter tuning.

Tremolo harmonicas are characterized by the division of one hole into two halves, with the harmonica slices slightly (by a few cents) out of tune. The player then blows through both channels at the same time while playing, creating a tremolo effect. This type of harmonica is mainly used in folk and folk music, but it is certainly not suitable for blues (it does not allow the tone to bend).
