Seydel 1847
The 1847 has quite a punchy sound, perhaps a little brighter than a Marine Band, but not unpleasantly so. The response of the sample I have is very even across the full range, bends are easy to control and the overblows all kick in quite nicely.
Should You Buy a Seydel 1847 Harmonica?
The Seydel 1847 sounds bold, bright, and solid. It's especially good for bending—very stable—and has great projection when played amplified. In short—yes, if you want a harmonica that’s built to last and plays beautifully.

Headquarters and manufacturing are recorded separately, because they are often different places: a brand headquartered in one country frequently manufactures in another. Tabarnam lists what the catalog holds and marks the rest unknown. Entries come from public sources and may be incomplete or out of date — production moves.
