What is a Tremolo Tuned Harmonica?
A tremolo tuned harmonica has holes divided into upper and lower cells. Each set of cells contains a reed tuned to a same note, with one tuned slightly higher than the other. Both reeds are either blow or draw. When played, the slight diffrence in tuning creates a vibrating tremolo effect.

Why Play Harmonica?
Why not? There are hundreds of reasons why people play the harmonica. Here are my reasons.
It is small and easily fit into my pocket. I love to go outing and hiking. When I feel like playing one, I just reach my pocket and there it is. Try carry your piano around....
It is inexpensive. I own 60+ harmonicas. The cheapest harmonica I bought is a diatonic harmonica. It cost me MYR2.50, that's less than a dollar.
It is versatile. I can play oldies joget, blues, nasyid, qosidah, dang dut, keronchong, country, jazz, folk, anything.... even dikir barat.
It's a great ice-breaker. I made many new friends who also love to play the harmonica, or just enjoy listening to people playing the instrument. The harmonica is an expressive instrument. I can express my emotion through the harmonica.
I don't need the whole street to play one. Idon't need an orchestra to play the harmonica. I can play alone.
What's your reason not playing one?
