The tremolo is actually the most widely played harmonica in the world. At first glance it seems very different to the 10 hole diatonic, however the note layout is quite similar.
It is a terrific instrument for session tunes. Great tremolo players include Donald Black from Scotland, Pip Murphy from Ireland.

Good work, Tony. Though I play mostly 10-hole harps I wouldn't go out without my G/D double-sided Echo. I like to think I'm Jimmy Shand on Burns Night...
Fascinating sites Tony.
Arthur Middleton (deceased) of Aberdeenshire and Billy Jolly of Kirkwall are two players I know of who should be more widely known. There must be more

In recent years I've become interested in the tremolo harmonica. Searching the web I've found little about the tremolo, less about how to play it.
To address this I've prepared a number of tremolo sites. There are:
http://www.tremoloharmonica.com Features music, tremolo player profiles etc
http://www.harmonicaacademy.com/categories/20101027 Twenty online tremolo lessons, for beginning and intermediate players.

Re: New Tremolo Harmonica site
Thanks for the links. I've added celticharmonica.podbean.com to the links page. Nick Moreau is a fine player.
Likewise Noel Battle. Does he have a site anywhere? I'm keen to feature any sites related to tremolo.
