David Kettlewell reviews the new Seydel Symphony 48 MAGNETIC BUTTON 12 hole chromatic harmonica.
Absolutely airtight from factory, superb engineering and precise buildout. (Flagship harp for Seydel.)
Superb feel in the hand, stainless reeds, german silver plated solid brass mouthpiece, rounded mouthpiece, aluminum comb, new MAGNETIC button (replacing spring) new easy to remove slide design (uses two screws at bottom of comb) improved bumper design, cast aluminum covers (open bell shape at back) german silver reedplates. Great ergonomics in the hand in play and tone, and projection.
And...full worldwide online parts availability, 2 year warranty, and great culture at the Seydel company...last remaining German manufacturer of chromatic harmonicas.
Bravo Seydel!
(Two years ago, Seydel won "Best Harmonica Manufacturer" award from Mr. Kettlewell's LOVE OF CHROMATIC HARMONICA Facebook page.)
This harp fitted with the Kettlewell Frictionless Mouthpiece SLIDER, providing friction free movement to new note hole positions, and no need for saliva to lubricate lips to mouthpiece (harp stays cleaner) and relaxed embouchure for player. For more information on the Slider, send a personal email to David Kettlewell using the Contact link at his website, MASTERSOFHARMONICA.COM
NOTE that Mr. Kettlewell is NOT sponsored by Seydel, nor is he an endorsed player for them. He calls 'em as he sees 'em, to help you get a feel for harps you may not have played before. These video reviews simply reflect his impressions. Have a different opinion? Great. Create and post a video on RU-vid.
