"The Hawaiian Tremoloa" Musical Oddities Poster Series #5 - 12x18 reprint of a vintage U. S. Patent

We present the "Hawaiian Tremoloa": a historical musical instrument patent poster from our Musical Oddities Series of breathtaking, oddball instruments.  Art.  History.  Inspiration.

The Hawiian Tremoloa is a fretless zither named after the tremolo effect created after moving a weighted roller along the strings after being plucked. As an interesting side-note, one of the patent holders on this instrument held a patent for his own version of the Ukelin!

About our Musical Oddities Series

These vintage musical instrument patents straddle the line between Da Vinci brilliance and lunatic ranting.

• Many of the instruments came to fruition and were offered on the market.
• Some were sold door-to-door by snake oil salesmen.
• Others simply vanished over time, leaving no trace… save for their beautiful patent.
