The Seydel 1847 LIGHTNING with polished stainless steel reeds and polished comb - 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. Choose key and see below for details and specs. Available in 16 keys. What makes the 1847 LIGHTNING so special? For the first time Seydel have created polished stainless steel reeds for the best responsiveness, a beautifully ballanced fat tone and a very long lifetime. The 1847 LIGHTNING is available in 16 keys. 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 coverplates 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.

Rolls Royce of harmonicas. Though a little heavier.

Simply the best harmonicas around. So good I now have 3 sets of 6 keys of Lightnings!! As well as several other harps, most of which are Seydel's I personally think that they are the best value around, even if a tad expensive, but definitely worth it. Great tone & playability.

The Seydel Lightning is the nearest harmonica you can get to a fully customised harp. It’s loud and can cut through the mix of over enthusiastic guitarists. It has some weight to it and oozes quality. Highly recommended !

This is an excellent harmonica in many ways although I'm finding it difficult to draw bend on holes 2 and 3, it could be because this harmonica needs a break-in period although for £95.99 I would have expected any harmonica to be perfect right out of the box and for this reason I have only given this harmonica a 4-star rating.
