When the tremulant is activated, the blade turns on its longitudinal axis, disturbing the air over the sounding pipes and creating a tremulant effect. It does not affect the air pressure of the pipes. Normal tremulants cause pipes to go out of tune quicker.

The tremolo (tremulant, tremblant) is a device that causes the wind supply to shake, causing the sound to waver. It may affect a single stop, a whole division, or the entire organ. The speed of the tremolo varies between instruments, and may be controlled by the player on some organs.

Vibrato is technique on stringed instruments where by the pitch moves higher or lower by a small amount repeatedly. Whilst normally done by gently wiggling the finger which is fretting the note, using a tremelo bar makes this easier on the fingers of the fretting hand and also easier to use the effect on chords.
