The Origin of Sound - the SAXONY CHROMATIC - the first serial-produced chromatic harmonica with stainless steel reeds!

The SAXONY CHROMATIC is a professional chromatic harmonica with unique playing features. The instrument benefits from the stainless steel reeds well known from the 1847 Blues harmonicas and the timeless precision manufacturing of the Renaissance chromatic harmonica.

  • Full, loud sound and fast tone response due to the stainless steel reeds: durable and stable in pitch even with heavy duty playing
  • Reliable valving - new windsaver material
  • Less air-loss due to optimized reed plates made of German Silver - optimized flatness and extremely small tolerances between reeds and reed plate slots
  • New mouthpiece with round openings
  • Improved slider package design – optimized for air-tightness and comfortable action
  • New cover plate surface, matt-chromed – comfortable on the lips and glides easily during playing
  • Cover plates opened wide at the back and crimped to allow the overtone-rich sound to spread out unhindered
  • High precision manufactured aluminium comb – optimized for ideal tone-response, with design coating in metallic look
  • Straight tuned- Short throw slide.

All components were rethought and improved – the result is the SAXONY CHROMATIC – a master’s instrument that fits professional demands. This harmonica opens a new dimension of SEYDEL's long tradition of making quality harmonicas. Precision, made in Klingenthal / SAXONY / Germany.

Great sounding harp and its small size works great. Upon arrival there was friction with the slider. The back of the slider needed to be de-burred, there were sharp burrs along all the holes. I smoothed that out. Some time ago the factory switched from 12mm to 14mm screws for the mouthpiece but I got one with 12mm and had to get the longer screws. Once back together, sounded an played great. now.

An incredible chromatic

I do not know where to start with this marvelous harp. It has been spoken of in glowing terms in its ads and youtube videos by the masters of harmonica. I don't want to go there. I am approaching this review from the eyes of a trumpeter/brass player with 55 years of experience in pro/show biz experience and 60 + years as a working harmonicist. I recently had to give up my brass playing due to my advancing COPD. I am now a full time harpist and keyboardist. I own the Saxony. This instrument is the Bach Stradivarius of Chromatic Harmonicas. The tone is super dense with rich overtones. That means your effort is 1/3 less than on other comperable chromes. The build of the harp is startling, with an aluminum alloy comb, stering silver reedplates, stainless steel reeds, sculpted silver mouthpiece with round holes and a effortless , smooth slider. This instrument is a joy to play and I've played almost eveything else out there. This is a MUST OWN HARMONICA for any serious player. Buy it and own it.
