Long live the "Plink"! Thank you.

I'm having trouble with the 2 blow on a new Seydel Session Steel Blues in G. It looks like it has a slightly smaller gap. Should I try to increase the gap?

Great video. Thanks

Thanks Greg. Simple video as usual. I just ordered some spare reeds and bolts from Seydel. I messed up an 8 draw reed on my favourite harp so it's worth a shot. I was ready to throw it away so a new set of reeds in UK £35 & the bits cost me 30£ so we'll see. If it goes well I got a B harp with a bum reed so I'll fix that up too. 👍

Thank you, Greg, all I needed to know!

Always useful to watch this video (and your others) again and again. Meanwhile I'm missing around 5 blow valves on my Symphony 48...and it's still sounding fine! Someday I will replace them - just for the practice.

Good job my black belt Amigo...from your buddy from AZ.

There are felt pads inside my sydel harmonica. When you rinse the harmonica they soak up water. What are they for and do I need them. This is a 10-hole seydell stainless steel reed blues favorite

What are the felt dampers inside my sydel 10 whole harmonica. I didn't realize they were there when I rinsed it with water they obviously got wet. I don't see them in any of the Seidel harmonicas you're working on

so cool Greg! sounds great!

Thank you, My harmonicas are Seydel 1847 Classic. I will try it.

Hello, while I am late to the party. After building a most beautiful sounding harmonica, I believe he should of used a magnetic slide and used rounded end covers keeping the internal part of the covers. Great video, Great sounding harmonica and the comb itself is magnificent. Cheers

Hi is it possible to paddy richter tune a standard richter harp with stainless steel reeds. Had success with brass but as yet not attempted stainless steel.

I just bought a Seydel 1847 will wilde tune Harp in the key of C and my third hole draw and blow is stuck. At $106 price i would hope that wouldn't happen . Anyway it seems to be pretty common on this brand harmonica. I'll give it a try and hope for the best. Thanks for the information

Love this 🔥🔥🔥

Im from south America so is nearly impossible to found valves replacements :c

Nice demo and good playing harp on the rack. Save the Last Dance has some lines that make me think this would be a good tuning for Jimmy Buffet tunes.

Super

Sounds great! Fascinating that non-slider.

Man Greg, you play that well! Do you prefer the chromatic over diatonic?

Where can I have my harmonic fixed? I don't want to do it

I've successfully converted a couple of brass reed harps recently to Paddy Richter, but after watching this I think I'll leave the stainless steel conversions to you, Greg. Thanks for the video.

Saved me $60. Thanks!

This should be required viewing for all chromatic harmonica players!

👍

It's much much better than before. Thanks a lot! Greetings from Brasil.

Just saved me $55 on a new harmonica! Thank you!

Thanks! I was getting nothing on the 1 blow on a new 1847. Now it’s fine 👍🏽

What’s your favorite trick for limiting the torsional vibrations? I’ve seen a touch of nail polish, BluTak, masking tape, beeswax, the list goes on. Which do you prefer?

Thanks greg!

Thank you Greg!

That was helpful. I already "fixed it" so I'll put it back now haha. Thanks.

Thanks. Very useful. How often - if things are operating more or less properly - is it necessary to take disassemble the whole harmonica?

Dear Greg, Thank you for the video. I have the deluxe steel harmonica with the current mouthpiece assembly order. First, put the blank, then the slider, and then the H-bar. On the other hand, in Saxony, the design is first the H-bar, then the slider, and then the blank. I have two questions. 1. Why is it so? Is one of the orders better? 2. Does the Saxony mouthpiece assembly fit the deluxe steel harmonica?

Just watched this video again, and now a question. Often I hear a faint, hollow, metallic sound mid-range on my Symphony 48 orchestra tuning. Is that normal? Or is some reed (or are some reeds) just slightly touching the edge of the reed slot? This is especially noticable when I push the slide in.

Thank you for the excellent video. After watching, I have the courage to replace the spring in my Seydel steel harmonica, even though my spring is still working. Is it worth replacing the spring after several years due to potential fatigue? It is better to assemble (at least partially), as the first step, the cover plates and only then the slider parts. I think that such an order of assembling (cover plates first) better protects the valves. Am I wrong?

Has an interesting rattly tin can overtone to it

I just bought a seydel chromatic deluxe. There is a very slight rattle sound immediately after I play low notes on the first three holes. It is nothing like the loud rattle in this video. I'm just wondering if it is normal for chromatics?

Where do you buy a Psardo philharmonica 64 harmonica?

Thanks, Greg!

Super! Thanks! Very informative.

Thanks! Super useful.

How do you install the bumpers?

Thank you! Using your method to put the slide assembly and mouth piece back together worked like a charm!

So it’s essentially a Paddy/Country hybrid with the 9th draw an octave above the 5th draw?

Why it is so difficult to do this hahahaha
