Description

What makes the 1847 LIGHTNING so special?

For the first time Seydel have created polished stainless steel reeds for the best responsiveness, a beautifully ballanced fat tone and a very long lifetime. The 1847 LIGHTNING is available in 16 keys.

The 1847 LIGHTNING comes with a polished solid comb made of stainless steel that gives the instrument not only extra weight (155 g / 5,5 Oz) but as well adds a very resonant component to the sound.

The shiny stainless steel coverplates with the special 1847 3D-imprint and side vents are completely rounded at the front and opened wide at the back for the best sound projection towards the audience.

All parts (even the rivets and screws) are made of anti-corrosive materials. The 1847 LIGHTNING is designed to be a lifetime companion and ready for any musical challenge.

The 1847 LIGHTNING - sound refined to perfection

The actual harmonica is amazing; it even has stainless steel reeds that will mean it will last for many years. The entire harmonica is made of stainless steel, so it will last for a long time. The only problem with it is the inadequate case that contains it. It protects the harmonica adequately for transportation from the store to the customer, but it's essentially cardboard. I had to purchase a separate case to protect my Seydel 1847 Lightning harmonica. Another harmonica I recommend is the Hohner 1896 Crossover. It's lighter than the Lightning, but it comes with a good case that's just as good as the Seydel case I purchased.

Beautiful instrument. Perfectly tuned, plays on a whisper, my hohner 20 is hard work by comparison so is looking for a new home.

A well-made top of the range harmonica. Very heavy and quite expensive compared to Hohner crossover harmonicas.
