[Harp-L] Paddy Richters out of the box

[Simon Willerton <s.willerton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a couple of Suzuki Promaster Paddy Richters from 
Brendan Power which are great (apart from the valves -- see 
below).  Now I need third Paddy Richter but Brendan says 
he's not doing any harp-tech this year, so I'd like 
something that's decent to play straight out of the box 
(I've got too many things on to learn how to retune and 
regap at the moment).  Seydel seems to be the obvious choice 
as they do both the Session and Favorite harps in Paddy 
Richter, does anyone have any comments on how they compare? 
 (Especially how they would compare with a Power tweaked 
Suzuki).

With regard to the windsavers, I seem to be a rather wet 
player, and the valves keep sticking, so I've ended up 
taking them out.  Is there any cure for my over-salivation?

Simon.
