[Harp-L] Re: J.C. Seydel company

[MilwHarmonica@xxxxxxx]

Hello, Dave Payne.
 
The book, "Harmonica Makers of Germany and Austria," by Martin Haffner and  
Lars Lindenmuller, published by the Deutches Harmonika Museum, Trossingen,  
Germany, is an excellent source for the stories of over 250  historic harmonica 
companies of the region. It's the best source for  research on the German and 
Austrian harmonica companies.
 
According to the book, the J.C. Seydel harmonica company was founded in  1838 
by J.C. Seydel in Untersachsenburg (now Klingenthal), Germany. It was  active 
until sometime after 1939. The company was an export and production  company, 
making harmonicas and other musical instruments.
