... but can eventually buy the mouthpiece when they will be available, just for curiosity. As far as I know Seydel has planned this. At least they will offer the mouthpiece as a spare part one day, since they just recently have decided, that they will offer the Nonslider as a regular model from now...

I exchanged the upper and the bottom reed plates of a standard Richter harmonica, just as an experiment. The tone layout of each reed plate remained the same. Air direction changed from blow to draw and vice versa. Bending, overblow and overdraw changed fundamentally. The latter I did not yet check ...

Q2: I presume maybe it was Tombo with the model "Minor Boy" - the predecessor of the later "Lee Oskar". The first ones I had were in 1981 or 1982, when the first importer of Tombo harmonicas appeared on the German market. In Japan they might have been available even earlier, and in the US maybee to...

I was told by Seydel today: ...

That is my state of knowledge too.
By the next weekend I will visit the Seydel factory and meet the concerned people there. Maybe I can find out more.

Triona...Did you try to overblow the nonslider? If you did..did you experience it easier compaired to a 10 hole diatonic? I would imagine a similar result because the nonslider have 2 reeds i each chamber which a 10 hole diatonic also have, and both reeds interact with each other but on different p...

With appropriate tunings, this could be a slideless/valveless alternative to their Sampler model. Not exactly. Indeed it is a slideless/valveless alternative to their standard chromatic model - as well as to any standard chromatic harmonica. The Sampler comes with a "double diatonic" tuning. I.e. i...

Q#3: Is the reed interaction of draw bending any different when reeds are above/below each other as opposed to side-by-side? Apparently not. To my astonishment and to my subjective mind I think with the Seydel Nonslider it works even easier, smoother and with less hard effort than with the one or t...

Two questions.... #1. I wonder if this model is therefore capable of a more convincing/overlapping slur between two blow notes of vertical alignment, or of two draw notes of vertical alignment. Any owners trying this? #2. Would/could this new mouthpiece essentially convert a compatible straight-tun...

First charge already sold out. They take preorders for the next. This is expected to be delivered end of july.

I got mine just this morning. As soon as I have played it a little I shall give a firsrt review.
