[Harp-L] Hohner MeisterKlasse

["Colourise" <sm.ms@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I am thinking of getting a  Hohner MeisterKlasse.                 

I understand that early versions of the MeisterKlasse suffered from oxidisation of the aluminium comb and this presented a potential, (or actual?) health hazard and that later batches did not suffer from this.

Have any present owner/users of this harmonica experienced this, or are experiencing this, or has this problem been fixed.

Does anybody know whether oxidisation could still take place over a long period of time even with examples from the later batches, due to wear an tear on the aluminium comb (perhaps caused by reed plates being removed and replaced for cleaning etc, or just general handling)?

Thanks

Regards


Steve
