Hi: I heard Christelle Berthon with her Seydel and I believe she plays great. Great great tone. Can anyone please compare the instrument with Suzuki's harps and hohners? Do Seydel harps have any special features and specifications? Thanks Hoolines
Hoolines, go to the following link, look down the lefthand side for Harmonicas by Brand. You'll see all the manufacturers listed there. Click one and you'll see a list of harmonicas along with customers reviews. You'll get a better perspective of what users think.
The only harmonica company that uses spot welded reeds is Suzuki. ---------- Sincerely, Barbeque Bob Maglinte Boston, MA http://www.barbequebob.com CD available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/bbmaglinte
"Does it make the harp last longer or not?" Not necessarily. Suzuki would claim they can fix the reed to the reedplate more accurately with less force applied to the reed. Trouble is, it is more difficult to replace a reed should you get into self-repairing. Brendan Power explains how to do it on one of his YouTube videos but it looks bit hit and miss to me. Sometimes it it is more time saving to just replace the reedplates.
