NEW at Seydel - the 1847 Classic Easy Third

Expand your musical repertoire with the new 1847 CLASSIC EASY THIRD!

The 1847 CLASSIC is now available in an exciting new variant: the 1847 CLASSIC EASY THIRD – designed for players who want maximum flexibility when performing melodies and chords.

This is what JOEL ANDERSSON, a real master of Irish Folk, says about the new tuning:

“The Easy Third tuning is my go-to tuning, so close to Richter that it feels natural, but with just two simple note changes you get a full minor chord, two extra octaves, and easy access to multiple keys. It makes playing in both major and minor effortless and expressive, without relying on tricky bends.”

But the 1847 CLASSIC EASY THIRD is not limited to just one style of music. Whether it’s Irish/Scottish Folk, Funk, Reggae, Jazz, Pop, Traditional music, or Minor Blues – this new tuning expands your possibilities across all genres and brings fresh tonal colors to your playing!

Our new instrument is equipped with the proven stainless steel reeds and reedplates of the 1847 Classic in the keys LD, LF, G, A, Bb, C, and D. The new 6 mm thick walnut comb and the brand new, specially embossed “1847 Easy Third” coverplates give it a fresh and unique look!

Five instruments in the keys of LD, G, A, Bb and C and the practical gig bag make the set the ultimate stage, studio, or session equipment.
