The blue comb and chrome covers give it a mid-century look that suits folk music players and collectors of GDR memorabilia or vintage instruments. With a tremolo design, each note is played with two slightly detuned reeds, which gives it a warm, wavering voice that suits folk tunes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
