These can take up to two weeks for delivery until Seydel USA is back up and running. The storm caused a slow down.
The 1847 NOBLE - PT Gazell Model allows to play in a fully chromatic manner without the need of playing overblows.
Additional bends can be created with the help of special valves. The American pro player PT Gazell is the master of this playing style, which allows him to play fully chromatica!
Without overblows, but only by draw and blow bends, it is possible to play in a fully chromatic manner over three octaves. Melodies can be played with a greater dynamic range, and phrasing is much easier to intonate, compared to playing with overblows. From now on, you can experience this for yourself with the exact instrument PT is using: Aluminum comb, stainless steel reeds, German Silver reedplates, specially developed Gazell method valves and reed setup, plus new coverplates in an ergonomic design.
Please note: The keys G, A, Bb, C and D are stock items. All other keys are manufactured on request (this takes about two weeks plus the shipping time from Germany).
The 1847 NOBLE - an instrument of the 1847 Blues harmonica collection and built without compromise; made from only the best materials available and with over 175 years of SEYDEL’s experience in harmonica making.
