Hi guys.
I have just been given a seydel big six as an early Christmas gift! It's very impressive for the size with a nice tone, solid construction etc.
What I was curious about is how similar is it in reality to the classic 1847?
Is it identical other than a few holes less?
Or is there more to it?
Thanks

To my understanding, they are all short slot reeds, though Greg Jones should be able to verify that.

Yes they are like slots 3 to 8 of an 1847. So on the C harp it's like the 1 blow reed is 3 blow from a lowF 1847. Quite nice harps in their way.

Ok... So in their basic construction and size (other than the obvious difference in length) they are the same?
Just asking as I have enjoyed playing it, so may get an 1847 at some point off the back of it.

yes, feels like a cut down 1847, plays like holes 3 - 8 except tuned like holes 1 - 6

I have a couple. I had Greg get me a wood comb for an "A" harp. Love it! Just not into the plastic combs on these small harps. Of course you can by a stock "C" harp with a wood comb. I have a couple small carabineers and I attach them to a belt loop.
