I have to agree! Czech manufacturerers are still famous here in Europe =
for their craftmanship in producing and restoring musical instruments, =
especially violins, upright basses and brass instruments. Apart from =
that, they offer excellent quality for a cheaper price than here in =
Germany. But I don't know about any Czech companies that produce and =
sell chromatic harmonicas under their own name...

I also don't know exactly what kind of troubles Hohner had with the =
Czech company that produced the reedplates at that time (4 years =
ago...), but it was more a logistic than a quality problem.=20
