    A lot of money for a harmonica, but it sounds real nice and I have heard the reeds will not break or change over time. Also, all harmonica prices have gone up over the last 5-years

    I consider myself a mid grade recreational player who is fortunate to have many fine harps, and consider the Seydel in low C to be the cream of the crop. It's fun & easy to play, and reeks with quality. Is it worth around 2-3 times the cost of some others. Yes, if you can afford it..maybe not if you are on a budget.

  • Expensive, but worth it for quality sound & durability

    This replaced a Hohner Crossover with a blown 5-blow reed in the set of harmonicas that I keep in my car and play a lot (with a rack) when driving (very carefully, hopefully). I learned how to replace a reed at a SPAH convention, and bought the necessary tools, but I haven't yet gotten up the nerve to try it, not being a great Mr-Fixit by nature. Because its steel reeds are supposed to last a lot longer than the brass reeds of Hohners, it will be cost-effective in the long run, if the Seydel Blues Noble 1847 harp lasts as long as it's supposed to.

    Has such a pure and smooth sound. Great for playing melodies. I use it for old time and playing hymns.

    The Noble plays very well. I can't say at this point that it plays better that my Lee Oskars or Marine Bands. The sound in my opinion is very close to the LO. Time will tell if the stainless steel system out lasts or out preforms the brass/bronze. I have no issues with cover plates or the comb. Price would be the only drawback for me buying another Noble although I will if it proves it's self.

    I am a novice but playing this harmonica is so easy and fun that I surprise myself with some of the melodies I achieve that are soothing to the soul. So much so, we purchased two more in different keys. The quality and craftsmanship of these harmonicas is evident on every level. One day I hope to become more than just a novice and these harmonicas will certainly help make that an achievable goal.
