Dick and Steve, Forget it both of you.

The Seydel 1847 is not the only the only model they do with stainless steel reeds. Their session harmonicas are also available with stainless steel reeds. They are available in all 12 keys plus C, Db, D, Eb E & F are available in low pitch. (The F# is actually described as low F#)

You can also get the C, A, D and G in Paddy Richter tuning. They have a bright orange plastic comb.

Just checked their website and they also do some of them in half valved form as well.

I have a Paddy Richter tuned G and a low D and very good they are too. Much better than Hohner or Lee Oskars IMHO. I tend to blow a little "wet" and I find that the Hohner special 20s are prone to clog with condensation where the Seydels don't.
