[Harp-L] Seydel Harmonicas and Rupert Oysler's Harp Repair - GREAT!

["Paul F. Sehorne" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Seydel provided me with a form for ordering custom tuned harps and 
suggested I make it available to general harp community.  The form is a 
PDF file.  As an additional aid they also provided an Equal Tuning Piano 
layout with the equal tuned frequencies of each key. This additional PDF 
is just an aid. Seydel will provide other tunings and, as is mentioned 
above, even custom tunings.

I would be glad to upload these files to the harp-l-archives, but have 
not been able to figure out how to do that.  I've read the instructions 
on the Yahoo harp-l-archive group site, which says in part

  1. Go to the Files area of your group.
  2. Browse through the folders until you find the location where you
     would like to add the file. Click *Add File*.

In the files area I can find no folder and no *Add File* button.  Would 
someone please provide usable instructions ?


I have done business with Seydel several times over the last year and a 
half and find them very accommodating and responsive to emails.  
Recently I discovered that Rupert Oysler is now their U.S. distributor 
and is stocking Seydel harmonicas.  I just ordered two Blues Sessions 
with the antique covers from Rupert and he had them both in stock. I 
also recently send a harp to Rupert for adjustment.  _/*I can't believe 
how well he has treated me!*/_

I highly recommend Seydel and Rupert.

Rupert's harp repair web site is, not surprisingly,  
http://www.harprepair.com/ <http://www.harprepair.com/>

Rupert's Seydel Site <www.seydelusa.com> www.seydelusa.com  takes you to 
the U.S. (English language) version of Seydel's site. (If you are 
greeted in German just click on the 'english' selection near the top of 
the page.)  If I understand correctly, orders placed on this site will 
be fulfilled by Rupert and the shipping cost is substantially less when 
the order if filled here in the states vs. the international shipping 
costs that are incurred when orders are placed on Seydel's German site 
<http://www.seydel1847.de/>. Of course confirm all this at the time you 
place your order.

I really like the ergonomics of Seydel harmonicas.  Anyone would 
appreciate the smooth rounded corners.  As to playability and tone, 
those are subjective and personal; so you decide for yourself.

Other than for having recently bought a boat load of stock in Seydel and 
Rupert Oysler, Inc.  I have no ties with either of them.  I'm just very 
pleased with how they take care of customers and with the Seydel harps I 
have purchased.  (In addition to several Blues Sessions I have a 
Chromatic Deluxe in G diminished tuning)
