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.
Great question. This is not normal but it isn't necessarily abnormal, either. I would say this is most likely a reed barely bumping the slot. If you can identify which reed it is, you can try to realign it or next time you send it in for service, make a note and I will see if I can fix it.
@@AllThingsSeydel Thanks for the info and the speedy response. You would be my service center of choice, but I live in Germany. I will keep an eye on the source of that faint sound. In fact, I just ordered a reed wrench from Seydel directly... just in case I get daring.
Thanks for sharing these recent maintenance videos, Greg. They've been very helpful.
Super! Thanks! Very informative.
Is it possible to buy a spare Reed Plate? [Europa].
Tank you for your professional video.

If I upload a vid of my seydel steel's funny sound can you tell me if it's repairable?
