RE: [Harp-L] Bushman Delta Frost harps

["Tom Klingl" <tom.klingl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Soul Voice was produced by Seydel/Weltmeister. NOT so the Delta Frost.
The Weltmeister Blackbird and the Bluebird (see
http://www.harpshop.de/shop/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=13&products_id
=47 ) share the same comb, reed- and cover plates, only the design of the
cover plates are different. The Blackbird was blackish-blue the Bluebird is
silverish. Intrestingly there are also some (older) Seydel harmonicas
(Nightingale)on the same website which seem to be identical with either the
Bushman Soul Voice or the Weltmeisters. The core of these harmonicas lives
on in the Seydel Blues Session

As earlier said, Fernando Bresslau's posting said it all. 

Cheers, Tom
