Bravo! I love my nonslider C - it eliminates all of the valve maintenance. But true chromatic. Seydel is (in my opinion) the best manufacturers for out of the box harmonica. The sound of the lowC is awesome.
so nice sound! Do you also or anyone else here have a video showing the Non-Slider in Bb key? I am considering to buy that one, but love to hear it here first .. so please link me if you or anyone got a video with the Non-Slide in Bb! thanks
Hey! Thank you very much for demonstrating these nonslider harmonicas! I'm thinking about buying one myself but I'm undecided between the normal C and this Low C. How do they compare when you play them? Do you recommend one over the other? I also saw another comment about the first holes being half valved, and that it might mean more maintenance. I don't have experience with valved ones since I've only played diatonic before but is that. What's the purpose of them being half valved and is it an important thing to take into consideration?
Thanks, Magnus! As for normal C versus Low C: especially when playing live gigs, I notice myself grabbing for the standard C Nonslider. Why? Because it's so reliable. Nothing so frustrating for me as a valve sticking in the middle of a live performance - and especially now in winter (depending on where you live), the cold makes valves more prone to sticking, regardless of which brand you're playing. The cold makes warming up your valved instrument and keeping it warm even more crucial. No such problem with the standard C Nonslider, as it's valveless. Just my experience of course, everybody's different.
Same here, I did have hesitations about that indeed. Luckily, it looks like only the lowest first four holes are half-valved (the ones from Low C to C). The other eight holes seem valveless.
i think this will be a steep learning curve but i am considering it after watching you take the plunge. Seydel would be well advised to employ you as an ambassador for this instrument.
@@dongrundy4239 Ok., I was wrong! I just went on Seydel's site, and some tunings are indeed valved or half valved. I apologize for my previous answer. My understanding is that a valved harmonica will have valves on every reeds. A half valved harmonica will only have valves on selected low and high notes to improve response.... I may be wrong again, but this time I think I got it right!
@@dongrundy4239 From the Seydel site: "In order to achieve an optimal tone response, the draw notes of keys LC, LD, LE and LF, as well as the C variant in 'Orchestra tuning' are equipped with valves (internal valves = half-valving). This improves the response of the blow notes and preserves the bending-function of certain draw notes, plus all the half-valved blow notes can additionally be bent down (overblows are not playable then)".
Ich habe diese harmonica auch, jedoch finde ich meine Suzuki chromatic wesentlich besser. Habe mich aber besser angestellt, direkt nach dem auspacken, dieses früh am Morgen im Bett (Geburtstag). Finde bei dieser harp die Töne 1-3 doch sehr schwach. Dann werden sie deutlich klarer und auch laut. Das einzige was absolut geil ist, ist das Bending. Unglaublich cool. Sonst aber ist Suzuki 1000x besser.
Nice! Have you posted more videos with this low c non slider?
I love this harmonica
I have one Orchestra tuning : fantastic for my music !!!
That harp is awesomeness. Love that music too!
A very good instrument for siamese twins.
🤣🤣🤣

@@heinzegersensemble Thank you very much!
Sweet harp!
Did you have any hesitation about the fact that the low c is half valved. It is the one i want but the valves open the chance for more maitenance.
Same here, I did have hesitations about that indeed. Luckily, it looks like only the lowest first four holes are half-valved (the ones from Low C to C). The other eight holes seem valveless.
@@heinzegersensemble Thanks for the reply. I'm about ready to order this to add to my full set of Orchestra tuned diatonics
In my opinion, the best one is the Orchestra tunned, because starts its scale in the G3 (four notes below C4) and continues as a C straigth harmonica.
i think this will be a steep learning curve but i am considering it after watching you take the plunge. Seydel would be well advised to employ you as an ambassador for this instrument.
lol I never even heard of a non-slide Chromatic!
Does the low C have some valves on the lower holes? Thank you.
I am pretty sure it does not. That is the whole point of the non-slider. No valves!
@@louisjutras1 What is half valving?

Jieha! Veel plezier samen!
Zeker weten! My newest favorite instrument!
Bravo !!! 🙂
I need harmonica
Ich habe diese harmonica auch, jedoch finde ich meine Suzuki chromatic wesentlich besser.
Habe mich aber besser angestellt, direkt nach dem auspacken, dieses früh am Morgen im Bett (Geburtstag).
