Re: [Harp-L] re: Seydel vs. OTC harps

["Splash" <celtiac@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I bought a Seydel Blues Solist Pro - in A - and it's the most responsive
10-hole diatonic [blues] harmonica I have ever had straight out of the box.
6-hole overblow is OK but the 4 and 5 holes are still giving me problems.
However, it plays so well otherwise I don't want to open it up and
potentially mess with it.

I intend to add to my Seydel stable when the time is appropriate with C, G,
D & F.  If my local music shops had them in their case I would have probably
already done so.

This Solist Pro makes me sneer at my old OTC [over the counter] Marine
Bands.  It's my favorite harp these days.

PEACE
