Subject: [Harp-L] Hohner Service Videos, Toolset

In an unprecedented step for a major harmonica manufacturer, Hohner has
released a whole series of professional quality harmonica service videos
aimed at the player which have now been uploaded to the links below. 

Demonstrated by Gabriela Hand, head of chromatic harmonica manufacture in
Trossingen and presented by myself, these HD videos provide detailed
information on many major aspects of harmonica maintenance and also
introduce the new Hohner Instant Workshop toolset, designed to enable easy
reed replacement in addition to all other maintenance operations covered in
the videos. The overall concept is the brainchild of Hohner Service
Department head Michael Timler and the official launch will take place at
NAMM.

Though primarily dealing with the chromatic harmonica, many of the subjects
covered in the videos such as tuning, centering, reed offsetting or reed
replacement are applicable to all types of harmonica and will undoubtedly be
equally useful for diatonic players. The tools and techniques presented here
will also be invaluable for harmonica technicians and may well revolutionize
harmonica repair by rendering it accessible to everyman. In an era where
more and more commodities are seen as being disposable, it's a welcome sign
that things don't always have to be throwaway! Here the links to the
individual videos:
