TheĀ SAILOR STEEL TremoloĀ is the first traditionally-shaped tremolo harmonica with stainless steel reeds and Richter-tuning
Traditional Tremolo harmonica with SEYDEL's unique Stainless Steel reeds
This traditionally built diatonic tremolo-harmonica has a divided plastic comb: four holes in a square correspond to one draw and one blow note.
If a single note is played two reeds that are tuned a little bit different start to operate together. As the result the floating tremolo sound is produced that grew into a typical stylistic element of many different kinds of folk music on the harmonica.
TheĀ SAILOR STEEL TremoloĀ is available in the keys of C, D and G major, as well as in AĀ and E harmonic minor.
TheĀ SAILOR STEEL TremoloĀ is well suited for playing melodies or chord accompaniment. If played with the so called tongue block technique both can be done simultaneously and then the full and rich sound of theĀ SAILOR STEEL TremoloĀ reminds of a big styrian accordion.
