Frequently Asked Questions
Stainless steel combs generally offer a brighter, more resonant tone with less 'breathiness' than plastic, though some find it slightly more metallic. It's more durable and resists moisture better.
While playable for beginners, the Low E key and the more complex tone of the stainless steel comb may be challenging initially. More experienced players will truly appreciate its capabilities.
The Seydel 1847 Lightning offers a more robust build and a brighter, more direct tone than the Special 20. It's a matter of preference; the Seydel leans towards a cleaner, more modern sound.
