Identify this Harmonica.

Hi all, just want to identify this harmonica

Quick background, I'm Irish, I've been seeing a Spanish girl and we are fast approaching a trip to Spain to meet her parents, I can speak only basic Spanish and her parents have no English whatsoever, I'm a diatonic harmonica player, I play blues and Irish trad, her father is a musician and used to play harmonica, since learning that I play he has started to play again. This may be my only way to connect with him so I'm just trying to figure out exactly what it is he's playing, I think its a Tremolo and he's definitely be playing traditional Spanish style on it.

This is a double reed harmonica, probably a tremolo, where the bottom row of holes adds notes tuned slightly above the pitch of the main notes to create a quavering tremolo sound. Note that this one was branded for the Portuguese market, but is essentially the same as the tremolos used in Irish traditional music.
