>The Concerto is Seydel's version of the octave harp that uses Knittlinger construction (where blow and draw reed are mounted side by side in the same hole, with the holes divided into top and bottom halves, each with its own blow-draw pair). The Hohner AutoValve is another model of this type. I have several Auto Valves that I like to play, but I'd never really spent any time with the Concerto until now.

My question(s)

according to harponline.de the Concerto Solo Octav in "C" starts - lowest note(s) on an "E"
Does this mean that your "G" starts on a "B"?
If so, which octave ?
i.e. B1, B2, etc....

Re the Autovalve from Hohner, (according to the French cataloge) the lowest key available is a "D"?
Once again, which octave ?
i.e. D3, D4, etc....

As to the layout , Richter, I assume, is it possable/convenient to play the octaves seperately ?

Thanks in advance
