    I play harmonica in blues, rock, and folk/Americana type genres. Seydel and Lee Oscar are my brands of choice. This one is a fine instrument, no surprises.

  • These are great harps!

    I have been playing harmonica for 25 years now in various genres (blues, country, folk, rock). I've used Hohner (Blues Harp, Marine Band, Golden Melody, and Old Standby), Lee Oskar, and Seydel (Blues Session and Blues Session Steel). Of those, Lee Oskar (which I settled on for years) has by far the brightest sound and is extremely responsive. However, after trying the Seydel Blues Session Steel, I am converting to using them exclusively. I personally like the feel of them (rounded edges). They are very comfortable, much like the Hohner Golden Melody. The tone is warmer than the Lee Oskar, which is great for that old school sound! They also seem to last much longer than the Lee Oskars that I was using, which at times would only last a month or two before I blew a reed out. So, the comfort and durability ended up winning me over. If you haven't tried a Seydel Blues Session Steel, I would definitely recommend buying one. See what you think for yourself.

    I've not been playing a long time and am still working through JP Allen's instructional CD's. I am super motivated and am spending at least an hour a day practicing. I have a Lee Oskar and Hohner Special 20 - both in key of C. Had to try the BSS - so got one in key of C as well, what a great acquisition! In terms of rating this is my number 1 - it is solid, has an excellent feel, I like the slightly larger/tapered holes, and definitely airtight. I like it to the extent that I wish to broaden my key choices and the BSS is the way I will go, a little more expensive but absolutely worth it!

  • GREAT HARP!

    This is my go to harmonica. The smooth comb and the coverplates make this harp easy to play and the rounded edges make it very comfortable. The Session Steel is very responsive, bends excellently, and is airtight. The best part is the stainless steel reeds. The steel lasts a lot (and I mean a lot) longer than brass, so you will not have to replace this often. Seydel does not make toys, the company takes pride in their quality and you can be sure that any harp that comes out of their factory is a fine instrument.
