Was watching Dave Paynes video on the Seydel Low C and wondering what happened to Hohners Low C? Can't see it on their website. Did they ever do one? Has anyone tried to tune a Low D down with solder?
Cheers

Sonny Boy 2 used the low c (then called the Echo Vamper) on "Bye Bye Bird" so cool

I've got a question regarding low keyed (or high, for that matter) harps. When do you use them? In other words, if the song is in a blues C shuffle, is it appropriate to use a low F? Or low D for A? Is it just an octave change?

I was playing a swing tune at a jam session in the key of Bb last month using a low Eb harp through a JT30 -'59 Bassman combination and it sounded really bitchin', almost like a sax. The problem with the low keys is, they're harder to play, but it's sounds cool to switch back and forth from the regular to the low key...

I was listening to Dennis Gruenling play on one of his low-keyed harps and I swear that he almost sounded like the tenor sax great, Ben Webster.
Creamy, silky smooth and man, he can swing.

I have a Low C Seydel Solist Pro 12. I love it, it has a great tone, and overblows, blow bends etc. with ease.
I plan on getting more Seydel's.
I would like to try the stainless reeds next.
