  • Tremelo or Tremolo?

    Has the spelling of "Tremolo" evolved over time, or did the old Charvel guys get it wrong?

    Perhaps they are just as dumb as I am, as I never noticed I had been spelling it wrong.

          Both tremelo and tremolo are incorrect. Technically, those are vibrato units.

                    Tremolo doesn't sound as much like "vibrator", though

                    Now the BIG question:
                    Do you personally pronounce it trim-O-low or trimma-low?
                    I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

                        The correct spelling is tremolo - as anyone with a past in musical theory should be able to tell you. The word comes from italian (the mother language of music), and can be traced back to Latin.

                        The way you pronounce "tremolo" in english (american english in particular), it might as well be written "tremelo", or "tremalo". It sounds the same, and that's why people consistantly misspell it.

                          Would you like to touch my vibrato?
                          Now the BIG question:

                          I pronounce it TREM-uh-low.
