The Seydel Session Steel harmonica is based on the Session Standard model, but features the brand's stainless steel reeds, which offer greater longevity and more precise bending than the traditional brass reeds on the Session.
The Session Steel uses a recessed ABS comb and full length cover plates, providing a mouthpiece that is ultra smooth and fast, and a modern look and feel.
This is the Standard Richter tuned Session Steel, however you can also get it in Paddy Richter, PowerDraw, PowerBender, Melodic Maker, Circular/Melody King, Country, Natural Minor and Harmonic Minor. If you would like any of the other tunings please contact us. We also offer custom tuning such as equal temperament on special order.
