Can you bend on a tremolo harmonica?
From experience, yes, it is possible to bend a couple of notes on a tremolo. However, because you are playing 2 reeds per note, it means you are bending 2 notes at a time.
How many holes does a tremolo harmonica have?
The Tremolo has either 21 or 24 holes. The comb has a divider down the middle which doubles the number of holes. The Tremolo is actually two harmonicas, tuned slightly apart and played in unison. The beating which occurs between the notes creates the Tremolo sound, not unlike a piano accordian.
Is tremolo harmonica hard?
The tremolo harmonica is different. No bending is required. In fact, bending is difficult with the double reeds, and rarely done. The tremolo is therefore easier for tunes than the 10 hole, because note bending is not needed.
