[Harp-L] 12-hole fourkey harmonicas available from Seydel

[Roger Myerson <rmyerson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Seydel recently introduced a new line of 12-hole harmonicas with steel 
reeds, the Soloist Pro 12 Steel harmonicas.  With Seydel's Configurator, 
these Soloist Pro 12 Steel harmonicas can be configured in fourkey 
tuning.  So thanks to Seydel, 12-hole fourkey harmonicas with a range of 
2.5 octaves are now commercially available for the first time!

Seydel has not yet added fourkey tuning to the Configurator templates 
for these harmonicas, but I have posted patterns for instruments in two 
different layouts, each of which is feasible for the Soloist Pro 12 
Steel in enough keys to cover all twelve major keys without bends or 
overblows.  These 12-hole fourkey patterns can be found at
