Hi

I have a similar problem with my CX12 (on 1 and 2 draw). I talked to Hohner
service in Virginia, and they said to send it in and they would fix it up. So,
I'm gonna do that. BTW, their address is

M. Hohner Co.
ATTN: Customer Service
101 Sycamore Dr.
Ashland VA 23005

<From what I've read on this list, it seems that Hohner service generally gives
good results. (I get the impression that they may be making up for possible
shaky quality control in Germany by providing good post-sale service here in
the U.S.) Any other comments on Hohner service, anyone? Email or post.

See ya
