Comparison Key D. Seydel Session Steel & Hohner Rocket. both in D. 

Thank you!

I enjoy wood and plastic but I probably carry around plastic more because I'm not so worried about them as they are cheaper in general 😀

@@CandidHarper you are totally right . LO aren’t expensive for the quality you get . I suppose I am just old and nostalgic ?! Also: I am merely an enthusiastic student . I don’t live from the Harmo . So they don’t swell enough to cause me issues . That said, I tweek my 1896

That's the beauty of steels

Thanks for feedback

Hi could you enlarge on your comment please? Thanks

@@CandidHarper The difference is not great and not always present, but it sounds as though you hit the -4' better with the Session Steel. I have a Session Steel in Bb that was difficult to hit the draw bends on hole 3 -- and when I hit them they were obviously to "airy" (inefficient because of air escaping around the reed rather than moving the reed). All of my work adjusting the reed's gap and shape (also for the blow 3 reed, since they interact when bending) resulted in only minimal improvement. Only after embossing the 3 draw reed slot did I get the bends as I wished them to be: easier to play, more precise and much less "airy". I did not emboss the 3 blow slot.

@@bravowild yeah well of course I know the fundamental differences. But these harps are similar in price so there often talked about as if they are on the same level. Everyone sees things from different perspective so what you think is fundamental might not be fundamental to another. What do you call fundamental? You prefer steel? Or brass?

@@bravowild what harmonica do you play?

@@CandidHarper Marine band series and 1x low harp session steel seydel. There is a distinctive sound difference between hohner and seydel even before anything else. The smaller chambers of hohner over seydel 1847 make the developing player move ahead faster in the same way a snooker player at home plays on tight pockets.However everyone throws air through differently. .9mm read is mandatory

@@bravowild so you claim my video is ridiculous based upon your experience with marine bands. Not sure where your getting your info from. I hear from a lot of professional players and none of them have mentioned anything like that so I'm guessing what your saying here isn't very important at all. Size of harmonica won't make you learn faster or slower lol

@@CandidHarperYeah ridiculous correct the same way a child from zero to 3 learns language and by 4 years old tells the world how they should speak from their experience. Size!! what are you on about This is the problem with the net particularly the 10 hole diatonic everyone is an expert and know nothing. Professional players!!! Pro player doesn't mean they are any good. Another idiotic misconception.
