No moving parts, strong and rust-resistant materials, no valves (in Solo-C version). You can clean it by pouring tap water inside. Throw it in a backpack, play it cold, store it wet: no problem.

Rustic instrument, yet it responds to soft breath consistently across the range. The reeds produce bright tones if slightly strident, similar to a Seydel Saxony but less "full". Holes are smaller but spaced like a normal harmonica.

Recommended for beginners *if* you pick up a slider chromatic to practice alongside with it. You will appreciate ease of play and consistency, it is a forgiving instrument.
Advanced players will appreciate the challenge of adapting their playing technique.

Important note: some versions of the Nonslider are valved, check Seydel's website.

Very Disappointing
Mcauthor 09.12.2021
I am no stranger to playing the harmonica. I started playing sixty-two years ago at the age of seven and over the years I've owned and played many different instruments. In recent months I decided to treat myself to some new harmonicas the Seydel Söhne Nonslider Chromatic de Luxe being one of them.

A few weeks before buying the Seydel Nonslider I had bought a Thomann Chromatic 64 Harp and was quite pleased with its performance and still am. On the day the Seydel Nonslider's unique design caught my eye I imagined it to be a superior harp considering how much it cost - almost three times the price of the Thomann Chromatic 64 Harp.

How wrong I was. From the moment I began playing the Seydel Nonslider I felt that this instrument had little to offer. Since then I've played it every which way to try to get an acceptable performance from it and the best I can get - if I hold it at an angle - is a kind of blues sound. My Tombo "Lee Oscar" and Hohner "Marine Band" can do much better when it comes to blues. Because of its double hole design I soon discovered that it is definitely not suitable for Irish traditional music.

I became so disappointed that I considered selling it on eBay just to get rid of it but reconsidered once I realised that I would be selling on my feelings of disappointment to someone else.

I guess I'm stuck with it.

Nonslider, simple à jouer.
Squish 01.08.2021
Bonjour,
Je commence par les qualités de cet harmonica :

- chromatique sans slider ni valve, il possède un son puissant.
- jouer chromatique est simple ; on s'habitue vite à basculer l'harmonica pour passer aux notes en dièse
- la fabrication est bonne ; harmonica lourd ; aucun problème pour jouer dès la sortie de la boîte. Accordage comme un chromatique. Trous ronds assez espacés.
- altérations possibles ( réglages conseillés ).
- vendu avec un petit chiffon.

Les défauts de cet harmonica :

- les altérations sont possibles, mais vous devrez régler l'écartement de certaines anches.
- les trous sont un peu trop espacés pour moi.
- les angles arrière de l'harmonica peuvent faire mal à la main après plusieurs heures.
- la boîte de l'harmonica est très grosse et ferme mal.
- harmonica assez chère.

Conclusion :

Le Nonslider est un harmonica chromatique qui se joue facilement. Pas de valves qui bloquent, pas de bruit de Slider, un bonheur de jeu.
Pouvoir altérer facilement apporte un jeu plus riche.
Il est simple à jouer pour les gens qui sont habitué au diatonique malgré les trous ronds un peu trop espacés.

Eine geniale Alternative
Piget 07.03.2022
Pflegeleicht. Das war die Idee meines Kaufs. Keine verklebte Ventile mehr. Keine Notwendigkeit, das Instrument vorzuwärmen. Einfach spontan spielen. Der Nonslider von Seydel erfüllt diese Wünschen vorzüglich. Wenn mal er etwas unhygienisch wird, dann ab ins Wasser. Trocknen lassen. Zack! Sauber. Darüber hinaus ein sauberer Ton und eine solide Verarbeitung mit Stimmzungen aus Stahl. Man hat quasi eine diatonische Mh und eine chromatische Mh in einem. Man bendet, wie man will. Das Instrument macht mit. Gewöhnungsbedürftig ist zwar das Hin und Her zwischen oberer und unterer Reihe. Man hat aber schnell den Dreh raus. Volle Empfehlung meinerseits - und obendrein zu einem fairen Preis. Fazit: eine überall mitzunehmende Mundharmonika.
