Re: Chromatic valve replacment . . .

[Nicolas Fouquet <bbhcfr@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Joe,
 
The best you can is to be patient.
Tell your troubles to both Hohner and customizers, and then, wait for the price.
Here a council: always practice  a dozen of time what you want to do on a broken harp before working on the harp you want to repair...
 
But what you did is not something hard to repair. I think you can do it by yourself. And it's a good opportunity to get experience and tools. Go at Farrell's (www.frfarrell.com) and get, at least, the rivet knockout kit. I recommend you to get the reed-screwing system as well.
 
Then, once you have the tools, practice on your broken harps.
Then, take you CX, take off, carefully, the reed, clean the slot.
You can make your own flaps. That's a good think to know.
 
Good Luck and keep me informed,
 
Froggy

I have a Hohner CX12 and the valves on several of the reeds have curled up. 
Tried to set them flat again, based on info I learned on this list. 

Broke two of them loose, then tried to glue them back with watch crystal 
cement. Got too much on the plate and it flowed down into a reed slot.

Question? Should I sent the harp back to Hohner for valve replacements, or 
would it be better to send it to one of our Expert Harp Tuners?
