1847 LIGHTNING

Details "1847 LIGHTNING"

Without compromises and literally “Heavy Metal”: our 1847 LIGHTNING
Pure SEYDEL - Pure Stainless Steel Power - that’s the short and accurate description of this instrument. The CNC-milled comb made of solid stainless steel adds mass and presence to the 1847 LIGHTNING, giving it a strong look and a rich, full sound. The polished stainless steel reeds ensure an even more brilliant sound while allowing for perfect control over the tone—from a delicate pianissimo to a powerful fortissimo.

With its solid stainless steel comb, the 1847 LIGHTNING tips the scales at an impressive 160 grams. This weight automatically creates a very special feel for the player. The special 3D imprint on the side vented and wide-open coverplates perfectly rounds off the design as a particularly elegant element.

  • brilliant sound thanks to the polished stainless steel reeds 
  • quick response and low air consumption thanks to precision fine-cutting technology for the channels in the reedplate
  • 100% corrosion-free thanks to the use of stainless steel for the reeds, coverplates, screws, rivets, and German silver reedplates
  • wide-open coverplates with side vents flanged edges and without brace for undamped sound projection
  • sturdy and precisely manufactured comb made of solid, polished stainless steel

The 1847 LIGHTNING is designed to be a lifelong companion and impresses with every style of music.
