Seydel Harmonica - 16506 1847 Noble Paddy Richter - SELECT KEY |
|
|
|
The 16506 1847 Noble Paddy Richter employs the Paddy Richter tuning developed by Brendan Power, specifically for playing Irish and other celtic tunes. Paddy Richter tuning provides the missing sixth without bending in the lower octave when playing in first position. It is also ideal for playing Aeolian Minor (Natural Minor) mode in fourth position and Dorian Minor mode in third position, The tuning provides the root note in the bottom octave in fourth position (which is missing in standard Richter tuning), and similarly provides the missing fifth in the bottom octave in third position. |
The 1847 NOBLE - the consequently enhanced development of the successful 1847 Blues models with stainless steel reeds.
- new coverplates; matted stainless steel covers with side-vents (openings on both sides)
- optimized sound projection and distribution of airflow if playing fully cupped
- cone-shaped lower coverplate for low keys (LF to LC) - minimized reed rattling in holes 1 and 2 draw, even if played hard
- new comb accurately milled from aluminium, anodized in black and with the SEYDEL logo laser-engraved on the back
- superb air-tightness and improved handling due to the greater weight of the instrument
- new tactile oval key stickers- hard wearing and removes the danger of holding the instrument the wrong way round, even in the dark
- approved corrosion-free fine-cut reedplates made of German Silver fixed with stainless steel screws - extremely close tolerances between slot and reed for best possible tone control for the player
- precisely factory adjusted, pitch-stable and durable reeds and rivets both made of Stainless Steel - optimal tone response and a full sound
The 1847 NOBLE - the jewel of the 1847 Blues harmonica collection. An instrument built without compromise; made from only the best materials available and with over 160 years of SEYDEL’s harmonica making experience.
Also available with a wooden or a plastic body: 1847 CLASSIC or 1847 SILVER
