The recessed reedplates (1mm) are precision cut from anti-corrosive German silver. Hand-tuning of the 64 stainless-steel reeds, tight tolerances, and newly developed SEYDEL valves (with less adhesive than conventional valves) create an instrument with precise tone control and a rich sound with a tonal range of four full octaves.

Slider option! The openings of the standard slider are 25% larger. The sound is full and loud. The professional-slider has a 2mm shorter action and is optimised for excellent tone control especially if you play soft pieces at lower volumes. The slider of the SYMPHONY can be changed easily and within 20 seconds. Both sliders are part of the package.

The SYMPHONY 'ALU' has a black anodized aluminium comb and is CNC-milled and perfectly balanced.
The recessed reed plates are mounted with stainless steel screws and screwed on individually.

Solid, die-cast, coated aluminium coverplates are screwed on individually providing a design that is widely-opened at the back for a balanced feel and dynamic, full, warm sound projection in all four octaves.The precisely-fit, stable slider, made from 1mm German Silver, has an ergonomically convex-shaped, silver coated slider button with soft surface for the finger. Each slider is individually lapped together with the mouthpiece and works therefore very silently and is extremly airtight.
It can be serviced very easy by unscrewing only one single screw on the back of the comb and pulling the slider out for easy cleaning.
