Hohner Echo Harp Tremolo Harmonica 56/96/C/G

The Hohner Echo Harp Tremolo Harmonica 56/96 (C/G) is a traditional double-sided tremolo harmonica designed for rich, shimmering tone and expressive folk-style playing. Known for its distinctive “warbling” sound, it’s especially popular in European folk, country, and traditional music.

Key Features

• Tremolo tuning (2 reeds per note): Each note uses two slightly detuned reeds, producing a warm, pulsating tremolo effect that gives the instrument its signature sound.
• Double-sided design (C & G keys): Essentially two harmonicas in one—flip the instrument to switch between keys a fifth apart for greater versatility.
• 96 reeds / 2×48 holes: Provides a wide tonal range (over 3 octaves) with strong projection across bass and treble registers.
• Maple wood comb: Delivers a warm, resonant tone while maintaining a traditional feel and comfortable grip.
• Brass reed plates (0.9 mm): Durable and responsive, contributing to clear articulation and tonal richness.
• Stainless steel covers: Provide durability and a smooth, polished finish.
• Richter tuning layout: Familiar note arrangement for easy melodic playing and chord accompaniment.
• Made in Germany: Reflects Hohner’s long-standing craftsmanship and quality standards.

The Echo Harp 56/96 is a full-bodied, traditional tremolo harmonica with a wide range, dual-key flexibility, and a distinctive shimmering tone. It’s ideal for players seeking authentic folk sounds or a harmonica with strong chordal and melodic capabilities rather than blues-style bending.
