The SYMPHONY Grand Chromatic is a professional chromatic harmonica with uniquely-inspired technical developments that sets new standards in terms of sound, airtightness, playability, and reliability.
The high-quality, contemporary ergonomic design guarantees longevity and maximum playing comfort, leaving nothing to be desired.
The SYMPHONY Grand Chromatic has a aluminum body and halfmoon-shaped mouthpiece. It will be shipped in a compact and stable case.
New slider option! The openings of the standard slider are 25% larger. The sound is full and loud. The professional-slider has a 2mm shorter action and is optimised for excellent tone control especially if you play soft pieces at lower volumes. The slider of the SYMPHONY can be changed easily and within 20 seconds. Both sliders are part of the package.

The recessed reedplates (1mm) are precision cut from anti-corrosive German silver. Hand-tuning of the 64 stainless-steel reeds, tight tolerances, and newly developed SEYDEL valves (with less adhesive than conventional valves) create an instrument with precise tone control and a rich sound with a tonal range of four full octaves.

The variant 'ALU' has a black anodized aluminium comb (total weight 438g / 15.5Oz), the variant 'ACRYL' has a translucent-green colored acrylic comb (total weight 362g / 12.8Oz). Both are CNC-milled and perfectly balanced.

Solid, die-cast, coated aluminium coverplates are screwed on individually providing a design that is widely-opened at the back for a balanced feel and dynamic, full, warm sound projection in all four octaves.
|
The precisely-fit, stable slider, made from 1mm German Silver, has an ergonomically convex-shaped, silver coated slider button with soft surface for the finger. Each slider is individually lapped together with the mouthpiece and works therefore very silently and is extremly airtight.
It can be serviced very easy by unscrewing only one single screw on the back of the comb and pulling the slider out for easy cleaning.

The comb accommodates the provided carrying strap, made from genuine leather and with a SEYDEL embossing, to securely harness the instrument. It can be attached either on the right or the left side of the SYMPHONY Grand Chromatic.
|
The SYMPHONY 'ACRYL' has a halfmoon-shaped mouthpiece. Both variants are silver-coated and screwed on from the backside of the comb to provide optimal playing comfort with no screw heads on the outer surface of the mouthpiece for better haptic properties.

The SYMPHONY Grand Chromatic offers an inimitable sound and a tonal range of four full octaves (C3-C7) and is suitable for many musical genres ranging from classical music to jazz. The very airtight SYMPHONY offers unimagined possibilities of expression and marks a new dimension in manufacturing harmonicas.
Each SYMPHONY Grand Chromatic is shipped in a compact harmonica case made of a very durable polymer material. The foam-insert is designed to carry two instruments: it exactly fits the SYMPHONY GRAND CHROMATIC or any other 16-hole chromatic, as well as the SYMPHONY 48, the DE LUXE STEEL or SAXONY, or any other 12-hole Chromatic harmonica.
Tip: if you carry only one instrument in the Compact Chrom Case, there is enough space left to pack a sensitive microphpone system inside the case - this makes it the ideal road case for artists who are performing regularly.
