[Harp-L] Otherwise Stock Seydel 1847 available with American Chestnut mojowood comb




Shameless plug alert: 

I am selling an otherwise stock Low C Seydel 1847 with a comb made (by Randy Sandoval of Genesis Harmonicas) of the commercially extinct and mojo-riffic American Chestnut wood. 

American Chestnut is about the LEAST biodegradeable wood there is and when the first settlers moved into Appalachia, the logs of dead trees littered the ground (they could lay there for a century or two without rotting). This wood was one of those logs, and was already centuries old when found and sawed into beams by Revolutionary War veteran Simeon Deming in 1806. 

It comes with a signed certificate of authenticity typed on a 90-year-old Underwood typewriter, which was made about the same time as the last American chesnut trees in the Ohio Valley were dying that documents the history of the Deming wood and that it came from a property on the National Register of Historic Places. 

With the stock maple comb, the 1847 retails at $89.95. I'm selling this harp for $150.
