This is my second Seydel bluesharp. I've been playing the Low D Seydel for some quite time and I love it. This one is my first attempt for a "standard" harp of this brand. I have full set of standard "beginner +" harps from the most famous brand, and those seemed fine for practicing until I tried the "real stuff". Seydel is easier to play, the sound is rich, response is fast, bends and changes work great, comfy to hold, lovely "antique" finish and real leather pouch. Sounds great on my recordings. I would love to have the full set of those. I'll probably pick the D and A soon.
