Rupert Oysler or Dave Payne Sr. or another customizer can answer 
the tuning question. Neither harp is tuned to "pure" JI or 12TET; I 
think both harps are tuned to a compromise that is closer to 12TET.

Coast to Coast Music has the price of both harps at $29.95 each.
They are my first source for harps.

However, there s a hidden difference. The Hohner Special 20 price 
is the Minimum Advertised Price; the actual price is lower, but all 
Hohner vendors are prohibited from advertising their actual (lower) 
price.

The Seydel price is the actual price (as far as I know). Rupert and
Dave sell Seydel, and there's no discount. Both vendors provide 
excellent customer service and support. Rupert is the official Seydel
rep in the USA.

I've purchased stuff from all three of these sources, and have had
excellent experiences every time.
