The 1847 LIGHTNING with polished stainless steel reeds - a dream for all harmonica-lovers

The 1847 LIGHTNING is made without compromise: the best components available and SEYDEL’s masterly craftsmanship were used to build this harmonica lover’s dream.

What makes the 1847 LIGHTNING so special?

For the first time we created polished stainless steel reeds for the best responsiveness, a beautifully balanced fat tone and a very long lifetime. The 1847 LIGHTNING is available in 16 keys ranging from LD to F. It comes as well in a >set of seven instruments.

The 1847 LIGHTNING comes with a polished solid comb made of stainless steel that gives the instrument not only extra weight (155 g / 5,5 Oz) but as well adds a very resonant component to the sound.

The shiny stainless steel cover plates with the special 1847 3D-imprint and side vents are completely rounded at the front and opened wide at the back for the best sound projection towards the audience.

All parts (even the rivets and screws) are made of anti-corrosive materials. The 1847 LIGHTNING is designed to be a lifetime companion and ready for any musical challenge.

The 1847 LIGHTNING - sound refined to perfection

Nice harmonica with some exceptions

First of all Ron’s has provided great customer service.

The harmonica is running to look at compared to a typical harmonica. Fit and finish seems excellent. The harp has a very crisp tone (to my ears) and almost sounds like an equal temperament when playing solo. Which I prefer compared to some of the just tuning harps that sound muddled ( like hohner rockets)
The lightning has open backing which can play loudly if you need it but is also very responsive light playing also. when I first got it i could actually wry lightly blow on the reed holes which out placing my lips on the comb and still get a tone.
The weight of the harp is definitely substantial but I think I actually prefer it as it minimizes hand unsteady hand movements.

The harmonica design definitely is a facial hair puller every now and then. I have noticed that the reed become noticeable less responds e within minutes of playing to the point of choking. It almost seems the harmonica is built so air tight that anything temperature changes or breath condensation slows down/stops reed response. will give it another week or so and if it doesn’t self correct mah ha e to contact Seydel regarding it in for a warranty service. Which would reduce my rating considering the price of the harmonica is top of the line.

Thanks so much for the kind review.
We appreciate you.

Great harp, great service!

Very nice harp! Sounds and plays great, does bends and vibratos, etc with ease.
Only complaint is that it is a bit of a hair plucker. It appears to be cut and assembled so precisely that where the metal edges come together causes a sharper groove and so plucks hair very efficiently. I did what any dedicated harp player would do and shaved.
Worth it!!! Great harp!!!
And great service from Rockin Ron's.
Thank you!

Thanks a bunch!
We appreciate you.
