Hi, I’m a Diatonic blues player about to buy my first ‘bendable’ Chromatic. I’m looking at the Seydel PowerChromatic Saxony or the Seydel PowerChromatic deluxe Steel (I think the only difference between them being price and that the deluxe steel has a plastic comb ironically and half moon mouthpiece)? Also looked at the Easttop Forerunner 2 but I can’t ascertain the note range and I don’t know if I can get it serviced in the UK. The unbent note range on the Seydel is A3-G#6 and I’m wanting to cover a song (Great Gig In The Sky) which has (I think) a note range of B3-G6. The song is in the key of F but I could perhaps play in 2nd position in Bb (if playing Chromatics is similar to Diatonics in that regard?).
No specific question here but any thoughts welcome - I can’t afford to spend three hundred quid on the wrong harp! I'm also at a loss with the Seydel configurator, way above my play by ear technical grade!
Cheers
