SEYDEL SYMPHONY Grand Chromatic Aluminum Harmonica C

The SYMPHONY Grand Chromatic is a professional chromatic harmonica with uniquely-inspired technical developments that set new standards in terms of sound, airtightness, playability, and reliability. The high-quality, contemporary ergonomic design guarantees longevity and maximum playing comfort. The SYMPHONY Grand Chromatic features an aluminum body and trapezoidal-shaped mouthpiece.

The recessed reedplates (1 mm) are precision cut from anti-corrosive German silver. Hand-tuning of the 64 stainless steel reeds, tight tolerances and newly developed SEYDEL valves (with less adhesive than conventional valves) create an instrument with precise tone control and a rich sound with a tonal range of four full octaves.

The SYMPHONY 'ALU' has a black anodized aluminum comb and is CNC-milled and perfectly balanced. The recessed reed plates are mounted with stainless steel screws and screwed on individually. Solid, die-cast, coated aluminum coverplates are screwed on individually providing a design that is widely opened at the back for a balanced feel and dynamic, full, warm sound projection in all four octaves.

The precisely fit, stable slider, made from 1 mm German silver, has an ergonomically convex-shaped, silver-coated slider button with soft surface for the finger. Each slider is individually lapped together with the mouthpiece and works therefore very silently and is extremly airtight. It can be serviced very easy by unscrewing only one single screw on the back of the comb and pulling the slider out for easy cleaning.

The comb accommodates the provided carrying strap, made from genuine leather and with a SEYDEL embossing, to securely harness the instrument. It can be attached either on the right or the left side of the SYMPHONY Grand Chromatic. The SYMPHONY Grand Chromatic 'ALU' has a trapezoidal-shaped mouthpiece which is silver-coated and screwed on from the backside of the comb to provide optimal playing comfort with no screw heads on the outer surface of the mouthpiece for better haptic properties.

The SYMPHONY Grand Chromatic offers an inimitable sound and a tonal range of four full octaves (C3-C7) and is suitable for many musical genres ranging from classical music to jazz. The very airtight SYMPHONY offers unimagined possibilities of expression and marks a new dimension in manufacturing harmonicas.
