Re: [Harp-L] Seydel 1847 stainless steel reed harmonica

Hi Jeff,

It sounds like the Seydel harps you got might have been gapped too high 
for your playing, which is usually the problem when someone experiences 
"leakiness". It could also possibly be some issue of the fit between the 
reedplates and comb. If you will send the harps to me I will examine 
them, and adjust, repair, or replace them depending on what I find.

Best wishes,
