I'm offering a new budget model that I'm calling a "Seydel 1847 Deluxe"

It has several improvements over stock 1847s:

- Polished reeds. I'm removing all milling marks. This improves durability, and adds more high overtones.

- Thinner reed profiles. Polishing thins down reed profiles, making them play easier.

This is not exactly a custom harmonica, and I can't really name it real reed re-profiling, but still it plays much better than a stock 1847. I'm aiming to offer a superior budget instrument.

I check gapping and test every instrument built.

The reedplates look like this:



Price is 80EUR for 1847 Deluxe Silver or 1847 Deluxe Classic.

I tune by polishing reeds.
