Comparison between Brass and Stainless Steel reeds of low-pitch diatonics in the key of LLF:

Frequency analysis (FFT) of the octave F2-F3 (1 and 4 blow) for sound and volume comparison: same distance to the measuring microphone, identical playing pressure: The 1847 Low plays louder and sounds fuller (blue curve) - the peaks at 355 and 532 Hz (fundamental frequencies) are stronger compared to the the Favorite (black curve); refer also to the envelopes.

FEEL THE POWER OF STAINLESS STEEL REEDS.
Nearly all musical instruments have their own resonance chambers. High-pitched instruments
(for example, alto and soprano) require a smaller resonance chamber whereas low-pitched
instruments (for example baritone and bass) require a larger resonance chamber. The harmonica has no built-in resonance chamber for amplifying sonic waves.

How is a full and loud tone produced with a harmonica?
Harmonicas produce sound by a free-reed system. As you introduce air to the harmonica,
either blowing or drawing, the reeds are actuated, rapidly moving up and down, cutting the
airstream and produce the sound you hear. Higher-tuned reeds move faster producing the
higher-frequency of sound. Low-tuned reeds move more slowly, cutting the airstream at a
lower frequency, producing the low, sonorous tones. The resonance chamber in the case of
the harmonica is the provided by the player. The player’s mouth cavity forms the resonance
chamber creating a functional unity between player and instrument. For this reason, the
shape of the player’s mouth cavity is crucial to the tone produced by the instrument. An
expanded mouth cavity and deep, diaphragmatic breathing combine to produce strong, fat
tones. The principle of opening the jaw to form a larger resonance chamber is also used by
singers who produce loud sounding low notes (like vocalizing the low-sounding vowel "Oh").
The SEYDEL 1847 Low-series (LLE to LF#) incorporate a thicker comb with deeper coverplates.
This encourages the player to adopt the wider embouchure and form a larger resonance chamber (mouth cavity). Additionally the new coverplate design has a very positive influence on
sonority and volume by creating greater sound projection towards the audience through the
wide-opened back of the instrument.
These fundamental improvements help to make the low
notes sound fuller than on other low-tuned harmonicas without this special baritone design.
Comparison: Brass- vs. stainless-steel-reeds
Both tones where produced with Bb harps (2-draw, F = 349Hz = 3.49 on the x-axes), at the same pressures and 40 cm distance from a condensor microphone with no cover plates in order to make it more comparable.
You can hear and see the difference!
Any tone consists of the fundamental frequency plus harmonious and disharmonious overtones.
There are much more overtones produced with stainless steel reeds (see range 1600-4000 Hz). This is one of the reasons for the fuller (or more bluesy) sound of stainless steel reeds!
