Rockharpisti Will Wilde suunnitteli Seydelille erikoisvirityksen nimenomaan raskaamman rockin soittajien toiveesta. Harppu sopii erinomaisesti hard rockin ja blues rockin soittoon.

''I designed the Wilde tuning specifically for playing hard rock and blues-rock on the harmonica. As much as I love the standard Richter tuning, I have always found it frustrating when it comes to playing rock guitar style licks, particularly in the upper octave. The Wilde tuning addresses all of the problems I had with Richter, whilst still retaining the bluesy feel of classic second position harmonica that we all know and love.

Whereas Richter tuning was primarily designed for playing major chords and the major scale in first position, Wilde tuning is specifically designed for playing second position minor pentatonic and blues scale licks, throughout all three octaves.

I have always preferred the sound of draw notes and draw bends to blow notes and blow bends, as you can get more expression and a better tone & vibrato from them. So, on the Wilde tuning ALL of the draw notes bend (from holes one to ten) and your root note lands on a draw in all three octaves.

I think that the Wilde tuning is the configuration that every aspiring rock harp player has been waiting for.''
