Re: [Harp-L] New Video inside the Seydel factory



That was fascinating, the tuning table especially, I thought!

Great to see those craft skills in operation and all that vintage machinery being used - to produce cutting edge instruments with some nice innovations, that slide mechanism back plate on the Saxony for instance looks a really nice touch. I've stopped smoking and I'm putting the money I used to spend on baccy and skins etc on one side, it should turn into a Saxony in October.

Can I suggest that if anyone ever complains about the cost of out of the box harps ever again, that they watch that video and then go off and find and economics class somewhere!

Smart company Seydel! A marketing student could do a lot worse than use them as a case study too.

Thanks again

Bill

This is pretty recent view of how the Seydel harps are made:
