[Harp-L] Can someone tell me about Seydels?

["samblancato" <samblancato@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone here tried the Seydel Soloist Pros?  They look like really nice
harps to me.  I have a couple of questions.

 

1 Do they really over-blow out of the box?

 

2 can you get them in low octaves without it being some special order?

 

3 where can you get the best deal and the quickest ship?  I read somewhere
Rupert Oysler is a dealer, here in the States but I also see Coast to Coast
has them too?  Where can I get the best deal and the low octaves with out a
lot of fuss?

 

I'm seriously interested in trying a couple of these so any commentary is
helpful.  I play blues harp and I TB and basically use all the technique you
hare most blues harp players use.  So if you're into Irish Fiddle playing
your take on the Seydels probably won't be of much interest to me.  But if
you play straight out blues with vibrato and tongue blocking and all and
you're playing these Soloist Pros I'm real interested in knowing what you
think?  Thanks.
