Seydel Volcany compared to Seydel Saxony with Birdie

Welcome to the Dr. Doolittle of harmonica...David Kettlewell's home where he rescued a fledgling sparrow named Birdie and his trusty Belgian Shepherd, BooBoo...as David compares the Seydel Volcany with the Seydel Saxony, then creates a custom harp mixing the parts and adding in Russ Camerer's Resonant Covers. With sound tests.
First, both harps are superb instruments, but I prefer the Volcany...love the solid brass comb providing more projection and beauty of tone, the solid brass rounded half moon mouthpiece with German silver reedplates and stainless reeds and new convex plasticized button, sprinkle in superb service and full parts availability from Seydel...and presto...Birdie heaven!
The Saxony has a different and heftier trapezoidal mouthpiece with THE SAME german silver reedplates, stainless reeds, but has the concave very small button?, stainless covers and solid quality, a great harp.
CUSTOM CREATION: I'm taking the mouthpiece from Saxony, the solid brass comb from Volcany, the new button from Volcany, the stainless reeds from Volcany (identical to Saxony) and the KETTLEWELL RESONANT COVERS from master designer and craftsman Russ Camerer.
The covers provide much better projection and volume, and better hold ont he instrument, and tonal improvement, email him at [e-mail].
Tell him Birdie sent you for no discount whatever.
RECAP: Parts from Volcany are fully compatible with Saxony, with the Volcany providing what David feels is superior tone and projection. The covers are wondrous.
Both harps are fully professional, dead airtight from factory, and easy to play given their short throw slides and straight tuned hole pattern.
Both instruments are orchestra tuned, David's favorite in a 12 holer, giving the sweet spot of a 16 holer- G3 to F#:6- enough for most classical and jazz repertoire.
