The Hohner Golden Melody C 40 Harmonica is a tremolo harmonica in ‘A’ tuning with a classic, 1950’s look offering a full-bodied sound. Featuring 40 brass reeds and a non-swelling plastic comb, the Golden Melody C 40 is built for an eternity.
The tremolo harmonica‘s distinguishing feature is that it has two reeds per note, with one slightly sharp and the other slightly flat. This provides a unique wavering or warbling sound created by the two reeds being slightly out of tune with each other and the difference in their subsequent waveforms interacting with each other. These so called 2-voice instruments are ideally suitable for traditional folk music.
