Very very difficult. Sometimes coming up for ridiculously exorbitant prices.
I have some which I do not want to give away. I am looking for some in D and Bb, optionally in keys with more flats or F#, B or C for several years in vain.

Re: Turbo-slide for sax like vibrato?
Actually I agree on you with everything you wrote about further development of the Turboslide. It was just a question for I did not understand what you meant with the second magnetic bar. I could not imagine how it should work. The Turboslide harmonica is good as it is. And it is an extreme niche pr...

Re: Turbo-slide for sax like vibrato?
Here's an idea you can test. Could a turbo-slide be used for sax like vibrato on blow notes. Sax vibrato is done by slightly dropping the jaw and returning to the normal embouchure in rapid succession. Doing this creates a very slight change in pitch. I thought that if a turbo slide were adjusted t...

Re: PowerChromatic Saxony or deluxe Steel?
I'm asking Seydel about the valved draw reeds and un-valved blow reeds which appear as default on the configurator - I just can't understand that! That might be the best to ask them. But I presume that it is the default suggestion of the automatical mode of the configurator, that a 12/48 chrom is v...

Re: PowerChromatic Saxony or deluxe Steel?
I'm unsure whether to opt for compromised/just intonation/equal temperament so I have stuck with equal temperament and standard Pitch (?) Compromised is recommended as a standard. With compromised tuning it does not matter in which key you play. The chords will sound optimal in any key (position) p...

Re: PowerChromatic Saxony or deluxe Steel?
Hi Ben, considering the price I would recommend the Deluxe Steel. The reedplates of the Deluxe Steel are exactly the same as of the Saxony. For me the plastic (acrylic) comb is better because I have an intolerance to aluminium. For configurated harmonicas you can chose which mouthpiece you want. (I....

Re: "Harmonica levers" - harmonica idea for irish trad players
Unfortunately Seydel has discontinued this model. And I do not know whether they have some of the parts over. I missed it too when it had been for sale some years ago.
