First in German, then in English: Ich fange gerade an, Mundharmonika spielen zu lernen. Mein Freund/Mitarbeiter von KZbin, Alex Paclin, schlug vor, dass ich mir ein Set Ihrer Mundharmonikas besorge, weil sie die besten sind und Seydels die primäre Mundharmonika sind, die er verwendet. Ich habe mit der 1847 Blues Silver angefangen und ich liebe den Klang und die Qualität Ihrer Mundharmonikas so sehr, dass ich alle vier Ihrer Skydiver-Tremoli gekauft habe, die beiden Sailors, die Fanfare Stainless Steel (mein Favorit wegen der unglaublichen Töne) und ich habe gerade eine bestellt Seydel Lightning in C. Und ich spiele erst seit zwei Monaten! Wenn ich richtig gut werde, will ich das chromatische Sachsenorchester haben. Vielen Dank für die Herstellung eines so großartigen Produkts! Ich habe mit den anderen Marken (Fender, Lee Oskar und Hohner) angefangen, aber selbst ich kann den großen Unterschied zwischen diesen und einer Seydel erkennen. Qualität bedeutet alles! Prost! Now, in English: I am just beginning to learn how to play the harmonica. My friend/collaborator of KZbin fame, Alex Paclin, suggested that I get a set of your harmonicas because they are the best and Seydels are the primary harmonica that he uses. I started with the 1847 Blues Silver and I love the sound and quality of your harmonicas so much that I bought all four of your Skydiver tremolos, the two Sailors, the Fanfare Stainless Steel (my favorite for the incredible tones) and I just ordered a Seydel Lightning in “C.” And I have only been playing for two months! When I get really good, I want to get the chromatic Saxony Orchestra. Thank you so much for making such a great product! I started off with the other brands (Fender, Lee Oskar, and Hohner) but even I can tell the huge difference between those and a Seydel. Quality means everything! Cheers!

Im in love with Seydel Harmonicas! They're simple the best

[@JimiLeeHarmonica]

Fantastic! What a great video! It gives such a nice glimpse into the wonderful world of Seydel, and all the friendly faces. I’m glad you captured footage of the 1847 LE. I have LE. 066/166. I keep it on my coffee table as a conversation piece for all visitors to enjoy! I can’t wait to see you all in Sept. Thanks for posting.

[@seydelharmonicas]

I have no. 68 ;-)

Sieht nach solidem Maschinenbau aus ;) Die 1847 ist bei mir im Prinzip immer dabei, egal ob als stimmstabilstes Auftrittsinstrument oder unterwegs, wie zum Beispiel auf meiner 676 km langen Reise im Schlauchboot auf der Elbe bis nach Hamburg - ne Blues Harp in der Hosentasche ersetzt mp3-Player und Radio und hält die Gruppe bei Laune ;) Umso schöner ist es zu wissen, dass dieses Produkt ganz ohne Sollbruchstellen, ohne Pfusch und ohne Ausbeutung von Arbeitskräften gebaut wird! Schön, dass es in der heutigen, komischen Wirtschaft noch so etwas gibt!

[@jochenr1560]

Wahnsinns Film. Unglaublich, was man in dem soooo fernen Klingenthal beherrscht. Bin zwar Laienspieler, habe aber verschiedene Munharmonikas von unterschiedlichen Herstellern rund um den Globus und natürlich auch mehrere Seydel. Ich muss immer wieder feststellen: YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST

[@dwuethrick]

This is a great way to get a glimpse of the care that is taken everyday to produce the best harmonicas you will find. Thank you SEYDEL!

[@Fam2014Ch]

Loving it !!! Thanks guys for your dedication and love on every piece. I can truly feel it on my Seydel... Gracias !!!

[@ammarkhan5921]

Proud to have seydel sessions.

[@bluehawk777]

The harp that Charlie Musselwhite plays, they simply are the best. 🎶

[@dimschool]

Now I only want to have SEYDEL harmonicas! Great great job! STATE of the ART! 我現在只想擁有這個牌子的口琴了!令人感動的影片!簡直就是手工的藝術品!

[@ryanhurtt4074]

So proud to own a piece of History. A product of timeless tradition perfectly mixed with modern techniques makes Seydel one of the premier Harmonica makers in the world.

[@hidexiii]

I like Seydel, my first harmonica is Seydel Session Steel, I still play along with it, Thank you SEYDEL I hope you will make more best harmonica

[@srijaatdutta6133]

Keep on. I am glad that there is fully German made oldest harmonica company is running on. Please make great production keep your heritage up to the mark..well wishes from me

[@nairbtloh1]

A great video showing off your wonderful company, showing off each important aspect of your company, the shining moment at the end of the clip would have been to zero in on at least one very happy customer somewhere in the world taking that same instrument into his/her hands to complete the story. Wonderful all the same and thank you.

[@richardlespaullee]

Love the video. I play the Session Steel and although I am basically a beginner, your harmonicas make me sound pretty damn good!

[@aarongriffith1892]

Great video! I love your attention to detail and your focus on craftsmanship!! I just bought the summer edition Session Steel when I ordered the triola gift packs for my kids for Christmas. It plays like a dream, fast and smooth!

[@patricia_marcoux]

Wow! Amazing Family. Great video!!! Merci beaucoup pour cette belle vidéo qui démontre parfaitement la qualité de vos produits et aussi dans quel contexte ils sont produits. Je suis vraiment fière de faire partie de votre équipe à ma façon. Au plaisir de pouvoir vous rencontrer un jour!

[@sergiurusu5316]

I have some of your harmonicas!!! They are wonderful!! Saxony, Fanfara, De luxe Brass, De Luxe Steel, Classic!! I love them!! Thank a lot!!! I would like to have Symphony and Volcany, and one day I will buy one!!

[@wernerspeiser5441]

Very nice Video and good music

[@Estdemedios]

I'm amazed, this video clearly speaks all about Seydel. I think I already know which is gonna be my next harmonica! Power on Seydel!

[@poolxguy]

I have a Seydel chord harmoninca and the steel Seydel reeds are great. A Very Clean sound.

[@merlinoya]

Schön zu sehen, wie diese von mir bevorzugten Harmonikas hergestellt werden. Danke!

[@seydelharmonicas]

This is SEYDEL!!!

[@RockinRonsMusic]

Fantastic video for sure! Wow!

[@RichardTraffordOwen]

Great vid! Fun to see the people making these great instruments.

[@wnfernand]

Hope someday I will own a harmonica, especially the chromatic and play all the Christmas melodies. Want to visit Seydel - nice blend of traditional engineering and modern technology

[@TremoloHarmonica]

Thank you for making the steel reed Sailor tremolo. The tuning is accurate and stable. The chords sound great. I have 3 keys of the steel reed Sailor and would like to get a Skydiver some day.

[@asokmajumder509]

I have Saxony orchestra.Its a wonderful one. Gives me amazing playing pleasure.I love this harmonica...its different..truely.

[@LuvBlues64]

Great video,and great harps.My session steel is great.Its playability is unrivalled and the reeds last.Mine well over ayear now!!!

[@TheJudyCantwell]

I've played every type, style and brand of harmonica out there. then I received a Seydel as a gift. WOW! everything I've heard was true. Tone, tone, & more tone. Doesn't hurt that Charlie Musselwhite plays them too :)

[@jts8002]

These guys making the perfect stuff!

[@AlexLatte]

Great video! I didn't know that it was Seydel who introduced the steel reeds for harmonicas. It was fun to see the process of the harmonica creation accompanied by music in German style :)

[@BluesHarpJammin]

The Seydel Session Steel is my favorite harp. Top shelf in every category.

[@TheSarpan]

Vraiment bien fait ce documentaire sur Seydel .Je vais aussi regarder les autresqui y sont associés, çà m'interesse enormément.

[@bobu5213]

I almost want to become a harmonica maker XD

[@danielroy185]

Beau video d'une petite compagnie qui continue d'innover face au grand !

[@Tablaturasdearmonica]

i love seydel because motivated me to create a page and youtube chanel where i upload tabs and videos playing those tabs. Tabs from many styles like Tango, from movies, anime series, some blues, rancheras, norteñas,etc. The first seydel i got was the Seydel big six blues harmonica, and as soon as was try, immediately fall in love with it. Then my mom gave me a cool orange comb-silver cover plates Blues session steel. I was surprise at how easy was to made bends. I am still a beginner but seydel harmonicas makes me feel like a pro. here is a little video where i try to play some cool song with my seydel session steel i love seydel

[@dabama2864]

Amazing, i wish i have one

[@BadOBlues]

Stolz präsentiert sich hier die Seydel- Mundharmonikafabrik. Meine Saxony ist eins meiner coolsten und besten Instrumente. Immer wieder eine Freude darauf zu spielen. Sollten mal Probleme auftreten: einfach anrufen dann wird schnell und unkompliziert eine Lösung gefunden. Vielen Dank

[@Barefootiano]

[@bertrambecher9483]

Thanks Iano!

[@fredrother5002]

Enjoyable and very educational! Gruß aus Oklahoma Fred R.

[@David-qh3he]

Bellissimo video :)

[@harmonicker10]

Yeah, I got a comment for ya... Seydel's kick ass!

[@cesarequevedo8943]

I love their sound and look. I admire their production standards. The thing is that for someone who is just starting, they should have a model with "numbered holes." Perhaps that's one of their key elements in their signature style (NO numbers), but this is what kept me from buying one. ☹

[@lastmanstanding5423]

what do you need numbers for?

[@YESFILMS]

@@lastmanstanding5423 I'm learning to play... I'm no expert! That's why.

[@lastmanstanding5423]

​@@YESFILMS ah... in that case: cheaper models have numbers. Like Session Steel range. But even as a newbie you'll stop looking at the numbers pretty fast. I'm no expert either, but I don't know when was the last time I looked at the numbers. You just learn by feel after a while.

[@tcgartland]

Great video!

[@DiegoCavalliDC]

Nice Video and harmonica. I never use one but i know that sound good, regards.

[@arzajac]

I like the contrasts in this video. Sophisticated machines make the parts but they are hand-delivered to the next team member. Everyone strives for tight tolerances and high standards while they are wearing jeans and sneakers. The rooms all seem to have huge windows making the facility look more like an artsy New York City loft rather than a factory. There is lots for people to identify with in this video. Can I get a harp hand-polished by the CEO?

[@benoist13]

Rassurant de voir qu'un fabricant tel que C.A. SEYDEL reste une entreprise à taille humaine ... l'homme au centre du processus : une belle idée dont devrait s'inspirer d'autres acteurs économiques !

[@RichardGjems]

Nice video!

[@oweedoin]

Great video and great music. But why don't I sound as good as that!

[@willischmidt9479]

culture of production...it is important

[@mxsinder1]

Seydel harps give me the loud clear music I need to control my work for different tone requirements.

[@germaniatv1870]

now you know who braught the harmonika to america and gave a black man a voice GERMANY Black-Dutsch German Native Indians joined with Blacks to fight the Racists hahah GERMANY BABY THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFULL INSTRUMENT

[@Madison-ut6bz]

i got a cheap Harmonia set probably made with alot less care and attention which is why I broke one open to see what was wrong with it wish it worked, needed it in that specific key which also brings me to here

[@ianbarnett219]

I must go out and buy one, my minds made up.

[@peraperic535]

I can not buy a Seydel harmonica in any store of music instruments here in Belgrade - Serbia. They got it HOHNER and some chiness harmonica, but Seydel not...

[@nausnwaldgutsod]

...das ist SEYDEL!!!

[@HarPlayer]

I'll GO buy1. The blonde n red head convinced me!!!!!😃😃😃😃😃😄

[@gaitistarb]

🇩🇪👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@reallukx]

I have few years old Seydel 1847 Silver and the white comb is getting very yellow :(. I always store my harmonicas in box and drawer so no uv light. Is it normal? Or this yellow coloring with age could be avoided?

[@joyleif]

Not all harmonicas are made this way...just the very best ones

[@seydelharmonicas]

Try out by yourself which model suits you best!

[@randywoodworth4028]

Which brand is better?? Hohner or Seydel?? the music store i go to only carries the Hohner brands

[@frogtownroad9104]

If you look at every single Seydel that they put out. They're better. However, once you start 40+ for a harmonica, it's all preference. I prefer Hohner because I use overblows.

[@kzookid2051]

You're in the wrong store. Time to upgrade.

[@HarPlayer]

I like Hohner OOOPPSSS!!!!! WE DON'T SAY THAT HERE!!!!!!!!!😃😃😃😃 at Seydel😃😃😃😃

[@ironworksdesign]

[@rajibkrsaha4523]

[@DansHomeDotCom]

Well done, but I'm a bad boy! I blew my Ab Blues Session Steel 6 blow in about four months!

[@jacobmunoz811]

Order a C thought guitar center got a G thank god they got me a C on the way to my house

[@aerospacepat]

Who's playing in the soundtrack?

[@bertrambecher9483]

I'm playing this little melody on an 1847 CLASSIC in A along to a guitar track (in E).

[@tcgartland]

Bertram Becher Great tone.

[@bertrambecher9483]

thanks!

[@airmojo]

Bertram Becher Very nice melody! Does it have a name ?

[@bertrambecher9483]

airmojo I improvised over a backing track (Steel Guitar) that did not have a name...I think "Steel&Reed" would be a good name for the final song...;-)

[@yriysemenov6974]

Hello! I want to buy an accordion instrument from you.

[@sasaivanovic783]

Hohner is better .I like brass

[@RichardGjems]

Nice video!
