All feature reeds which are tuned to produce the natural notes of the scale without any additional sharps and flats. Most are ten hole instruments with the four middle holes comprising a complete eight note octave, and the holes an either side extending the scale and permitting chord playing. These models are capable of producing the expressive effects of bending and over-blowing.</td> </tr><tr> <td align=center><a href="/props/musical_instruments.shtml"> <img src="/img/props/thumbs/harmonica_hohner_590_big_river_harp.gif" alt="Hohner Harmonicas, Big River Model" width=100 height=49> <br><font size=1>Big River Model</font></a></td> </tr><tr> <td align=center><a href="/props/musical_instruments.shtml"> <img src="/img/props/thumbs/harmonica_hohner_55_echo_80.gif" alt="Hohner Harmonicas, Tremolo Echo 64, Echo 80 and Echo 96" width=100 height=40> <br><font size=1>Tremolo Echo 64</font></a></td> <td><b>    Tremolo Harmonica</b> (turn of the 19th Century (1800s) on): Tremolo harmonicas are Diatonic models constructed with double holes, each containing two reeds tuned to the same note, one tuned slightly higher than the other. Since both reeds are either blow or draw, when played both will sound together�the slight difference in tuning creating a beautiful vibrating or tremolo effect. Tremolo models are popular for ballads and gospel music, as well as for Latin, Asian, European and other international folk styles.</td> </tr><tr> <td align=center><a href="/props/musical_instruments.shtml"> <img src="/img/coming_60h.png" alt="Hohner Harmonicas, Chromatica" width=86 height=55> <br><font size=1>Big River Model</font></a></td> <td><b>    Chromatica</b> (1920's on. Possibly earlier): These models incorporate the full chromatic scale and allow the player to play in any key using one harmonica. Chromatic models provide the complete 12 note octave with all sharps and flats. Each hole contains four reeds: two are for natural notes and two for chromatic notes. The reeds for chromatic notes are brought into operation by pushing a slide button on the side of the harmonica. This closes off the air flow from one set or reeds and permits the other set to vibrate freely. The preferred instrument for Jazz and Classical, chromatic harmonicas are also used for Blues and Popular Music.</td> </tr> </table></td> </tr><tr> <td> <table align=left> <tr> <td><a href="/props/musical_instruments.shtml"> <img src="/img/props/thumbs/mandolin.jpg" alt="American Civil War stringed instruments, mandolin" width=75 height=82></a></td> </tr><tr> <td><a href="/props/musical_instruments.shtml"> <img src="/img/props/thumbs/violin.jpg" alt="American Civil War stringed instruments, violin" width=75 height=50></a></td> </tr> </table> <center><b>Stringed Instruments<br> Violins, Violas, Cellos, Mandolins, Banjos, etc.</b></center> <p>    We have a selection of stringed instruments, but have not verified them for authenticity for any historic periods.
