Description

The 1847 Classic is the result of Seydel's 160-year of experience in manufacturing high-quality harmonicas. (Also available with plastic comb ...See the 1847 Silver)

This harminica will last you longer than most others! ...a must for any serious blues harmonica player, it has stainless steel reeds and stainless steel rivets (So no rusting and build up of corrosion) This harmonica is built to a high quality and rugged specification …it will play in tune after hard playing, the reed plates are precision engineered flat and parallel, then screwed to the maple wood comb …this gives excellent air tightness and stability of tone. The smooth contoured cover plates add ease to playing along with the curved chamber openings and rounded hole dividers. All around a great quality German made blues harmonica that will not let you down.

The 1847, a harmonica, that impresses from innovation but nevertheless fits all traditional demands - a master's instrument for maximum ambitions.

  • Full and loud, overtone-rich sound and extremely fast tone-response due to stainless steel reeds
  • Very long durability and even with heavy duty playing - stainless steel reeds and stainless steel rivets
  • Less air-loss due to fine-cut reedplates - optimized flatness and extremely small tolerances between reed and reedplate
  • Beard- and lip-friendly - coverplates with rounded edges without any cuts at the mouthpiece and ergonomic built hole-openings and rounded dividers
  • The overtone-rich sound can spread out undampened - covers made of extra strong stainless steel sheet (0.4mm), opened wide at the back and crimped and therefore a good stability and rounded edges
  • Moisture-proof, swelling-free maple-comb, sealed with multiple layers of food-safe finish

Complete with presentation box, care cloth and hardshell carry case.

Like the Seydel Paddy. Good strong tone from the stainless reeds which combine strength with a good breathy sensitivity for dynamic colour. Strongly built to promise a long life. Downsides? Out of the box they play very well but are not the fastest - they do need a bit of patient and steady playing in for the speed to improve - but it will. Like them a lot. You can buy Seydel from a lot of sources (to order...date of arrival to be confirmed usually) but I buy from someone who has the commitment and balls to stock and put the item straight in the post. Buy from Eagle. Top sellers.
