I suppose now we need to have a protracted "steel vs. brass" reed
materials debate. Maybe Vern could make a pre-emptive strike
against a difference, sparking a whole slew of emotional posts
and "me-too" responses, then the "tastes great/less filling"
arguments...
I'm personally hoping that Seydel was forward-thinking enough to
make these new plates in a standard size and layout that can be
incorporated into their other models. I'd buy one for the reed
plates, then swap them with a model that has a plastic or metal comb
and full-length covers (of course, retuning it Paddy Richter, and
tempering the intonation to equal) ;-)
Speaking of intonation, anyone know how the 1847 is intoned? Rupert?
