For Western Country & Folk music I’m using Hohner Diatonic Marine Band Regular, Blue’s Harp, Pro Harp, Meisterklasse 580,Thunderbird & Crossover… Seydel Blue’s Session, Suzuki Bluesmaster, Manji & Overdrive… Generally I use them for Rhythm… For Western Classical and Jazz patterns I use Hohner Meisterklasse 7565 14 Hole’s Chromatic and 16 Hole’s Chromonica 280 c… I haven’t tried Seydel steel reeds Diatonic Harmonica as yet… I’ve heard it and I’m not satisfied with Steel reed’s… When I began playing my first 3 Diatonic Harmonicas in 1977…Two of them were Hohner Golden Melody and one was from Thorens… They all were made up of Brass reed’s… It’s a matter of individual preference… My most desired ones in Diatonic harmonicas are Hohner Marine Band Classic, Thunderbird and Crossover… Authentic Resonance like no other’s that I’ve trialled according to my mediocre playability…
