The Hohner Echo Elite tremolo harmonica was made for the World Trade

Exhibition in 1933-1934 which took place in Chicago, USA and although it


was intended as a "one off - special event" model, production continued
until the mid 1940s. It's an excellent instrument in the "Art Deco" style with
a beautiful sound and very easy to play. This is a Hohner Echo 96 as it has a
total of 96 holes. The top row of holes on each side are tuned slightly higher
than the bottom row & that's how Hohner achieves its tremolo effect. Each
side is a different key; so it's either a C/G harmonica or a D/A harmonica, 2
of the most common Echo Harp Harmonicas. I'd guess its age at perhaps a
1940s-1950s vintage..
