52480C Saxony Solo Chromatic Harmonica, Seydel Sohne

The Origin of Sound - the Saxony Chromatic - the first serial-produced chromatic harmonica with stainless steel reeds!

The Saxony Chromatic is a 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
Silvered mouthpiece with round openings
Improved slider package design – optimized for air-tightness and comfortable action (*refer to tip 1 in the TIPs section)
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

All components were rethought and improved – the result is the Saxony Chromatic – a master’s instrument that fits professional demands. This harmonica opens a new dimension of SEYDEL's long tradition of making quality harmonicas. Precision, made in Klingenthal / SAXONY / Germany.
