Frequently Asked Questions
The Seydel has a brighter, more modern tone, while the Unsere Lieblinge leans towards a warmer, more traditional sound – it’s a noticeable difference in character.
The comb is fairly durable if cared for properly, but it’s susceptible to warping from excessive moisture. Regular cleaning and drying are essential for longevity.
The reeds are on the stiffer side, which means they don’t lend themselves easily to blues-style bending, but provide a more stable and predictable tone for traditional playing.
