The Suzuki Humming Mate is an easy-to-hold compact version of the popular SU-21HM humming tremolo. It has 13 holes and produces a rich, traditional sound. Many different kinds of gospel and old-world music uses tremolo style harmonicas, but the Humming Mate perfectly captures the feel and sound of these genres.
Tremolo harmonicas are diatonic models constructed with double holes, each containing two reeds tuned to the same note. Each reed is tuned slightly higher than the other and, when played together, this slight difference in tuning creates a beautiful vibrato or tremolo sound.
This harmonica offers a great balance of affordability and portability by focusing on the most commonly used tones in performances. While it has 13 holes, 8 fewer than the popular 21-hole tremolo harmonica, it’s still able to play a wide range of songs. Compact and reliable, it’s a charming yet dependable musical companion.
The white part of the mouthpiece is the position mark that indicates the sound of "do(c)". If you look for where the sound is at the beginning of the performance, you can use it as a guide to search for the other notes.
This model also features an airtight construction, minimising air leakage and allowing for effortless play. This means you can produce rich, full sound with just light breaths, ensuring you won’t feel fatigued during a performance.
