Hi Ross

The 1847 has stainless steel reeds and stainless steel rivets....you can 
find all info on our website...  www.1847.com

In short...the harp is a bit louder, produces(to my ears) more overtones...I 
love the cupped sound of a 1847 in my acoustic duo.
The comb is completely sealed, rounded corners, coverplate corners are 
"beard/moustache "friendly .. back of the covers is opened ... coverplates 
are extra thick..
and ...the reeds will last a very, very long time and stay in tune!
I've played 4 prototypes during 6 months , almost every day and so far only 
2 reeds are just a little out of tune and yes, I played them loud and 
agressive!!

 nicely done!  I like to do Summertime in 3rd position.  This is the best 
cross-harp version I've heard.  Tres cool!  and your impressions/verdict on 
the steel reed Seydel??
