They are $59.95. If you don't like the orange comb, I sell them with black combs for $67. It is very similar to the old Silver Plus, which was $95, as I remember.

Any idea how long Seydel intends for the "Introductory" price to last and what the "regular" price will be after that?

I don't know and I've asked.
On the price, Keep in mind it's an 1847 with a recessed comb. If I were pricing it, I'd price it around $75. The introductory thing is to get people into Steel reeds, which is the direction Seydel is headed with everything.

Dave - When you say it's a recessed 1847 - do you mean it's the very same reed-plate and reeds used in the 1847?

What do you charge for these with some light embossing and gapping done ?

It's the same reeds as the 1847s, same reedplate that was in the 1847 Silver Plus. you're talking about custom work, but not what you'd call a full level custom, right? That would be $95 total.
Thanks

Hi folks,
I just wanna let you know that I posted a new video where I play the Session Steel.

I hope you like it. And whoever met me on my trip from New Orleans - Memphis (23rd April - 09 May) can check this harp. I will carry them with me. Just let me know where we can met. Best place would be a jam session :-)

I got my first Session Steel last week, but that is a custom harp (Beta-harp by Ben Bouman) so I cannot tell anything about the o.o.t.b. version.

My Steel Beta is air tight, better than the normal Blues Session (I have two of them and they leak like a strainer). It's customized, therefore accurately pitched of course and good to play.

I only dislike the Session covers, but that's a personal thing. I just prefer the 1847 covers, in my mouth as well as in my hands.
