The Seydel “Blues Favorite” is a kind of prestige model in the Seydel " Session" series and it commonly got high ratings.
So…Why is it terminated ?
You can always write to them and ask that question. They are very good at responding.
My guess is that despite “high ratings” the sales numbers were too low.
a. I have done that but got no answer so far
b. Yes of course, little demand plausible reason. “Session Steel” on the other hand seems to be a success. I recently bought one but unfortunately it seemed out of tune so I returned it and hoped for a “Favorite” instead but they dont appear in the ordering list anymore.
With whom did you attempt contact?
I have corresponded with Bertram Becher (from Seydel Europe). He was very nice and ready to assist.
I no longer remember the details / specifications for the (late) “Blues Favorite” model. If you find time, would you be so kind to tell us the differences to the “Session Steel” models?
Have had contact with BB too but I didnt buy from Seydels…(.from a Net retailer.)
The “Favorite” looks like the Session Standard (and Steel) with full length covers but got Alu comb and Nickel-Silver reeds and is in Equal temperament. Costs about the double as the Standard.
Thanks for the details, @Ramino !
