Sorry to get out of the toppic in discussion, but Marine Bands (or
other harmonicas) do not need breaking in. This iss simply a false
believe. And if a reed gets less stiff with time, it gets out of tune.
Don't want to sound like this is an attack, but this is simply not
true at all.


I would say that Marine Band do need some breaking in because of the
non-sealed wooden comb which interacts with the saliva (airtightness). Don't
they?


I would say that you are right, but then, the poster was talking about the reeds. And I too believe they don't need breaking in.
All the best,
