Trem"o"lo : Nothing whatever to do with the rise and fall of volume


From link #3:
"The way that accordions are made to sound different from one another is in the way the remaining set(s) of middle octave reeds are tuned. Typically, they will be tuned a little bit off from the others to get a tremolo effect (a.k.a. a "beat note"). The amount of tremolo (actually the rate of the tremolo) is typically referred to as the amount of "wetness". If all middle octave reed sets are tuned exactly the same (no offset), the accordion is said to have "dry" tuning. In that case, no tremolo is heard."

Here is a 4th link from the "melodeon-net" web site

Perhaps Trem"e"lo has somethng to do with volume.
