The products of GDR were not so bad compared to those of the Western harmonica manufacturers
Despite the fact that the GDR reached No. 11 in the ranking of the
biggest industrial nations worldwide, harmonicas were not looked upon
as a quality product, but more as a bringer of foreign currencies.
Therefore the focus was on mass production.
Up to 400 people (working at Seydel?) produced not only harmonicas but parts for accordians too.
