This is excellent!! I have a Hohner CX 12 and it's probably the best harmonica in my collection!! I'd like to try a Seydel Symphony. Stevie Wonder played one in a recent performance and I loved the tone of it. I'm assuming it's quite expensive but very much worth it!! Thank you for this review!!
@Masters Of Harmonica I believe this is how the magnetic slider works on this harmonica: The slider has the inner end with a magnetic material that produces a force produced by ions that are of like charge to the polar position of the magnet it makes contact with. When you push the slider in, the alternate sharps and flats are played when you blow or draw but the magnet repels the slider back into position when you release it.
Thanks for this, definitely helped me in deciding to buy. Only complaint is that the slide itself feels REALLY slow/heavy when pressing in and releasing, is this something that just needs warming up...getting a lot of resistance.
It's almost impossible to make a definite conclusion on harmonica based on your reviews Whatever you play sounds incredible. $5 harmonica would still perform like a professional instrument in your hands.

It is what it is
No problem. It just needs a washing. Unscrew it, put it under running water, dry it (carefully) and put it back the body of the harp.
Thanks David, very good explanations... Clak's
Are these actually better than the Suzuki Sirius/Maret? Looking so damn clean and easy to service, just awesome
Can I get a regular 12-hole from C4-D7? Instead of G3-G6?
Wonderfull!
sure is...I've played Seydel for years, top
Sir what microphone you are using
bulletini with volume control from blowsmeaway.com, with Samson wireless system
Intresting, the button is on the left side when you play
A Slider, those interested can send an email to inventor David Kettlewell using contact link at MASTERSOFHARMONICA.COM
the slider is to the left
what is the reason

Why do you show your videos mirrored?
some videos are shot by selfie smartphone, reverses.
It’s distracting to see the slide retention screw with a left-hand thread...
