Re: [Harp-L] Seydel 1847 v MB Deluxe

["ben bouman" <fitgo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's my personal observation:

I was heavily involved in the process of producing the 1847/steel reeds. 
During that time I built some prototypes when I was working in Klingenthal.
These prototypes are still in my harpcase and I've used them heavily for 
more than 3 years... So far I broke only 1 reed where I normally would break 
1 or 2  brass reeds every 3 to 4 months....( Hohner and Hering harps)

I have 2 customers break reed on a beta-harp..... in 2 years....
