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

I play Blues Harmonica and have only ever used Hohner products to date. I'm currently developing my over blow bend skills and found the Hohner seem to struggle with excessive use on the 10 hole. Seydel have stainless steel reeds which I understand are more robust than the brass reeds used by Hohner. The Seydel in my opinion has a warmer sound than the Hohner (Crossover) but needs a bit more input in playing, possibly more difficult to do standard bends on holes 1 to 6. The holes in the Seydel appear to be ever so slightly larger than the Hohner ones. I use tongue block method. Seydel does have a nice quality feel to it but it would be better if they supplied it with a fabric zippered case like Hohner.

As a beginner I have tried out a lot of different makes of harp and in the past have been pleased with the Hohner Blues Harp. The Seydel Classic has a better tone and seems easier to play.
