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

[David Payne <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Low octaves aren't special made, they are a regular offering. As for price, the price will be the same with any of us Seydel dealers, we had to agree to a fixed minimum retail when we signed up. There's a lot of us little dealers. So, us little guys can compete with the big boys, for the customer its less confusing, everything is one price, I don't know of anybody selling over the minimum retail.

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

Rupert Oysler is a dealer, here in the States but  I also see Coast to 
Coasthas them too?  Where can I get the best deal and  the low octaves 


Sam, I own several Seydels.  I cant answer re where best to purchase   but we 
have several Seydel dealers on this list.
  When i was having trouble getting the hole 1overblow, I bought a   custom 
harp that I knew would OB.  At that time I bought 2 Blues Favorites   from Rupert 
Oysler.  One was a custom and one was stock.  I also  bought a Soloist Pro.  
I had to tweak the stock harps to approximate  Rupert's custom job.   The 
Soloist Pro is a nice harp but the Seydel 1847 is  the best wood combed harp in the 
Seydel line.  
  Custom tunings are said to be available at the _www.Seydelusa.com_ 
(http://www.Seydelusa.com)  website.
