Hi Winslow

I've become a big fan of the Seydel 1847 with wood comb. I really love the profile especially if you put some sessions shaped covers on it. Super ergonomic and just really great playing and sounding But the reason I am writing is to ask if you have Any recommendations for a customizer that specializes in these steel reed wonders. I have some from Ben Bouman FROM across the pond  and 1 special harmonica from Joh Harl. Unfortunately I learned to day Jon is no longer accepting orders. I have had that harmonica a year and I've been saving to get a set and now that I have the money - bad timing I guess. Coincidently about the same day Joe Spiers announces he is not longer taking custom orders and focusing on a repair based business model. 

 

It it seems most people specialize in th MB platform and that is reasonable enough but the common comment seems to be "they are different animals " When asking about Seydels. 

 

i was hoping with your experience and network you might make some recommendations.

 

thanks for any information and suggestions. 

 

Best,

Andrew
