Professional chromatic harmonica with unique playing features. The instrument benefits from the stainless steel reeds well known from the 1847 Blues harmonicas and the timeless precision manufacturing of the Renaissance chromatic harmonica.

  • - Full, loud sound and fast tone response due to the stainless steel reeds: durable and stable in pitch even with heavy duty playing
  • - Reliable valving - new windsaver material
  • - Less air-loss due to optimized reed plates made of German Silver - optimized flatness and extremely small tolerances between reeds and reed plate slots
  • - New mouthpiece with round openings
  • - Improved slider package design – optimized for air-tightness and comfortable action
  • - New matt cover plate surface – comfortable on the lips and glides easily during playing
  • - Cover plates opened wide at the back and crimped to allow the overtone-rich sound to spread out unhindered
  • - High precision manufactured aluminium comb – optimized for ideal tone-response, with design coating in metallic look

The Saxony plays beautifully in the higher registers. I can't think of another chromatic harmonica that can compete with it. It's okay in the lower registers. I think it could still be improved there. Unfortunately, the slide is based on an old system with 4 parts. You basically have to clean it after every practice session to prevent it from getting stuck. I don't understand why Seydel didn't make it better. The same goes for the covers. They become uncomfortable to hold after prolonged use. Why didn't Seydel at least round off the corners? Despite all this, I can't do without this instrument. It has a great sound, and the reeds are very easy to play.
