Welcome to the SEYDEL open '09

Harmonica contest in Klingenthal/Germany!

Again this year the SEYDEL open takes place as a part of the Mundharmonika-Live festival in Klingenthal, Germany (17th Sept. - 20th Sept. 2008) and is an open harmonica contest for Blues harmonica players.


The contest and the Blues-Playbacks

The SEYDEL open is a competition with the audience doing the voting. However like in the last contests an "expert panel" will be there to give their voting, too. Again there are great >trophies as well as trophy money!

The contest of the Blues category will take place in the SEYDEL Blues factory (Robert-Koch Str. 1, Klingenthal).

For this category we will offer play-along pieces which were recorded by the Blues Band >Kicking up dust from Westfalia/Germany.
