[Harp-L] Seydel 12-holers

[Jonathan Ross <jross38@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rupert Oysler writes of the new Sedel Solist Pro 12 (BTW, what's a  
"solist"--I know what a "soloist" is, but not a "solist"):

"It will eventually be available in all keys."

Will it be available not just in 12-keys in the lower octave but in  
the standard range as well?  "All keys" is rather vague.

I'd love a 12-hole with a plastic comb, normal spacing available in  
all keys in the standard range.  I've never really understood why  
extended range diatonics tend to be more associated with lower-ranges  
by default.  True, a C or F harp which extends upwards isn't going to  
be as useful as one which extends downwards, but the same isn't true  
of a G or A, IMO.

Thanks for any info.
