Hi @Kristi_fox

Don’t know about the tremolo.

The bending topic has been discussed a lot on the forum. Type bending into the search and you’ll find plenty of info.

Something I’m real interested in is, when it comes to tremolo harps, is there a major difference between what a tremolo harp “does” and in simply playing multiple (2-3 holes) on a “normal” diatonic harp?

Check out the wikipedia article about tremolo harps. It will probably answer your questions better than most blues harpists could.

@yrurythebest Here’s my article explaining the difference between diatonic, tremolo, and chromatic.

Tremolo’s usually are tuned to solo tuning.

@Kristi_fox They’re not conducive to bending.

@wproct just shared this sweet tremolo performance by Mickey Raphael:

I have 3 Tremolo harmonicas. I can’t really help you with the technicalities - I just really like the sound and the range of notes available on the instrument!
