## Description

As J.R.R. Tolkien famously noted in his epic saga Lord of the Rings, “Not all those who wander are lost”. Wandering through beautiful countryside is certainly a rewarding experience, especially with the right musical accompaniment. And making music in the home with family or friends is one of the most uplifting social activities of all. Or you can take a little piece of home with you wherever you go. The Echo Harp 2 x 48 is the classic HOHNER tremolo harmonica, with a tonal range of well over 3 octaves in each of two different keys. With its sweet-toned, evocative sound, it has been a folk music favorite for generations, and its small size and low weight make it destined to be your travelling companion, whether you travel on foot or by car.

Review: Very happy - Excellent harp
Review: I love the sound! - This two-key Echo tremolo harmonica sounds absolutely beautiful. The double reed sound is somewhat reminiscent (to me anyway) of an accordion. Hohner's web site describes the tremolo harmonica this way; "Their unique sound is created by using two reeds for each note, tuned very slightly apart to create an uplifting, gently pulsating tremolo effect which is perfect for folk music." And I have to agree that the Hohner C/G Echo sounds great playing the melody of your favorite folk song. I have played some blues-type songs and it sounds good as long as I don't get too vigorous with it. The reeds are light and have a beautiful sound that does not need a lot of breath. Even the lowest notes are easy to play. In fact, I find that blowing too hard can make the notes sound wrong, this is especially true at the upper end of the scale. (Blowing too hard can make any harmonica sound wrong, but this one seems to be a bit more sensitive than, say, the Marine Band or Blues Harp.) The Echo Harp can be played louder or softer, as with any harmonica, it just doesn't take as much difference in breath. Also, I have found that you can, in fact, bend notes as you play, but again, I find that a gentle difference will produce the note I want and too strong a blow or draw can make it sound wrong. As noted in the description, this harmonica has two diatonic scales, one side tuned to C, the other to G. This is what gives this harmonica it's unique appearance. The holes you see in the side plates of the harmonica are where the sound comes out, since there is no open back (that being the other key) - because of this it is difficult to add a vibrato sound using your hands, but the tremolo sound makes up for that, especially on sustained notes. This is a very beautiful harmonica and has a unique look because of the C/G keys, meaning (as I said above) there is no open back. The cover plates have a scroll-work pattern around the edges and the name (Echo) on the C side, and the M. Honer trademark on the G side. The comb is a lovely white maple wood which Honer's website says is double-lacquered, so it should last a very long time without swelling, drying or cracking (admittedly, I've only ever had one harmonica comb crack - my dad's old 64 Chromonica which was purchased around 1940). I am totally thrilled with this harmonica. It's unique sound lends itself very well to folk songs as well as cowboy classics (such as "Cool Water") and many other types. If you love playing harmonica and want to branch out from your old standard 10-hole diatonic, this could be just what you're looking for.
