Seydel has started a new program: Harmonica of the Month, basically crowd-sourcing custom harp tunings/designs.

From their website...


New in the SEYDEL FACTORY CUSTOM SHOP:

In the new year we like to offer you a special harmonica each month. It will be an interesting design and/or tuning variant, that we designed for you - each #harmonica_of_the_month will be offered for one month only.

Background of the idea: Many customers order individually designed custom instruments through our harmonica configurator. Many of those config harmonicas seem interesting to offer them to other players as well.

So the #harmonica_of_the_month is a good opportunity to present intersting specially designed instruments to our customers.

You perhaps have a useful tuning or design variant in your mind? Please send us your ideas and suggestions! Perhaps your desired model will be the #harmonica_of_the_month one day!

The first out of twelve special harmonicas can be pre-ordered now: We need at least ten orders to start the production.

This is a great idea! Folks who want to try "the latest thing" can take advantage of a tuning's popularity.
I haven't tried the tuning featured, but can see how it would make it easier to play melodies in the first or second octave.
I bet I see some of my favorites put up here!
