It has the same style comb and covers as the Hohner Marine Band, with stainless steel reeds and a wooden comb. If you prefer a plastic comb, then the Seydel 1847 Silver has the same configuration as the 1847 Classic with a polymer comb.

The Harp Configurator then provides 3 tuning systems: Compromised, Just Intonation or Equal Temperament.
