This may sound weird, but my lips are giving me a fit after I play the harp. I have noticed lately that when I play the harp (which is not often since this has...
If the metal part is touching your lips and it's made with nickel, lots of people are allergic to nickel. That could be the problem. ??? Lucille ... From:...

Hi, This is a common problem for many players regardless of the comb material or cover plate metals. I generally use Blistex myself (when I was doing something...

... Which Seydel model (Session, Solist Pro, Solist Pro 12, Favorite, Favorite Black, 1847, 1847 Silver) do you have? AFAIK, the 1847 and 1847 Silver are the...
Hi, The stainless steel reeds also have a tighter reed slot tolerance than most harps, and for those who don't know what that is, it's the distance between the...
I have a bunch of Seydel Paddy's, though not the stainless steel variety. I love them and prefer them to my Oskars and Hohners. Maybe it's the SS. -- Al On...
Hi, How long have you owned this harp? The reason why I ask is that it may still be under warranty and could very well need some slight adjustments, possibly...
Thanks everyone. I'll take your suggestions and I'm going to email Rupert, whom I already talked with and who is very helpful. I'm so glad I found this group....
Thank you Crazy Bob. I must have misread the literature concerning stainless steel reeds. I'm not quite ready to adjust my own harps. I see I'll have to get...
Hi, One thing also to consider is that because the reed slot tolerances are tighter, and the need for more breath force becomes MUCH less necessary, that means...
Clyde, sorry so long to reply, I've been away from this site awhile. Currently I do not use chords when playing in second position. In theory you can play a G...

Good to know about all those chords on the MM, Paul. I may stick to playing single note lines on it. By the way, Ashokan Farewell sounds great on the MM! Bill ...
