Re: Plastic reedplates



The Harmonic Reed Corp. made harmonicas in Philadelphia.  I believe they
made an all plastic harmonica.  (Not certain) They also made a unique
plastic harmonica with brass reeds called the All-American.  It does not
have reedplates.  The brass reeds are mounted individually in vertical
slots behind each hole.  It also had a removable mouthpiece.  You could
easily replace a single reed by removing one and slipping a new one into
the slot.  The overall shape was that of a diminuitive CX-12!  This harp
had surprisingly good quality sound, bending easily.

On the Magnus front, I have a Magnus Chromatic that is all plastic.
