Seydel 10301G Blues Session Steel — Key G Harmonica

The Seydel 10301G Blues Session Steel in Key G exemplifies over 160 years of harmonica craftsmanship, combining premium materials with precise engineering to meet the demands of blues, rock, folk, and studio musicians alike.

1 | Stainless Steel Cover Plates

The 10301G features precision-pressed stainless steel cover plates that provide exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and acoustic projection. Each plate is milled to exact tolerances and finished with a subtle bead-blast to reduce glare while maintaining a rattle-free fit against the comb. Ergonomic bevels along the mouthpiece ensure comfortable lip contact and clear airflow, enabling articulate playing across dynamic ranges.

2 | Sealed Pearwood Comb

Crafted from sustainably sourced European pearwood, the comb is sealed with a food-safe coating to resist moisture absorption and swelling. This sealing process preserves tuning stability and ensures long-term airtightness. The pearwood’s natural resonance contributes warmth and depth to the tone, while the comb’s smooth finish and rounded mouthpiece edges offer ergonomic comfort for extended performance sessions.

3 | Brass Reed Plates & Stainless Steel Reeds

Traditional brass reed plates provide a stable, warm foundation, while laser-cut stainless steel reeds deliver bright, responsive attack and extended longevity. Each reed undergoes individual calibration for balanced output, ensuring consistent volume and precise bending across all ten holes. The combination of brass and stainless steel achieves a harmonious blend of warmth and clarity, suitable for both subtle accompaniment and soaring solos.

4 | 10-Hole Richter Tuning in G Major

Richter tuning in Key G Major offers strong draw bends on holes 1–6 and access to the upper register on holes 7–10. This layout supports classic cross-harp blues, melodic folk, and rock riffs. The 10301G’s tuning is meticulously adjusted to deliver smooth bends, accurate intonation, and even airflow, empowering players to transition seamlessly between rhythmic chords and expressive single-note lines.

5 | Removable Reed-Plate Assembly

Maintenance and personalization are simplified through a removable reed-plate assembly secured by stainless steel screws. Musicians can easily disassemble the harmonica for cleaning, reed replacement, or custom voicing with the included precision screwdriver and cleaning brush. Reassembly retains airtight seals and reed alignment, preserving the instrument’s original tonal character.
