Can't make my mind up to which I prefer..... Seydel 1847 or Marine Band Deluxe. Has anyone blown out the stainless steel reeds on an 1847 yet?

Here on Harp-L a few weeks back, former Seydel endorsee Marcos Coll stated that he had blown out the stainless steel reeds on an 1847. Despite the experimentally verified longer life of the current Hohner classic reeds, people have of course also blown out reeds on the MB Deluxe. I've trashed quite a few myself. However, the MBDL is not being sold on the basis of unsubstantiated claims about the longevity of the reed material. Nothing lasts forever. Like any other material, stainless steel will fatigue at some point. The louder and more often you play, the sooner this is likely to be.
