160 years ago, Christian August Seydel established a harmonica factory in Klingenthal, Germany. C.A.Seydel Söhne is the oldest harmonica factory in the world. Even more remarkable, all the instruments are still handmade today in Klingenthal.
The masterpiece as a limited edition on the occasion of the 160th company anniversary: The 1847 – the first harmonica with stainless steel reeds in the world. The highest demands on craftsmanship and materials were put into this model - the result is overwhelming.
The 160 produced instruments are the most precious Blues harmonicas that ever left our manufacture. They demonstrate Seydel's demand on quality and the pride of their makers.
