Tremolo or tremelo?

[msteeln]

Guess I was gone surfing the day they discussed this one in grade school, and never paid enuf attention since thinking all along it was with an e, until taking pix of my new Strat and noticed the Fender headstock spells it Tremolo.
A quick search has plenty of both uses, but with more proper evidence of it being TREMOLO.

Tremolo is correct.

Actually the proper spelling is "vibrato," but Leo was an engineer after all, not a musician.

 

[markb]

Tremolo unless you're Brian Poole

Agreed

From the Italian (like many musical terms): Tremolare - to shake, to quiver, to flicker

 

[just strum]

...to shake, to quiver, to flicker

Add fade and you have Elvis.
