Hi Rob.

You are talking about the MK MS.
Actually, it was the other way round. The original MS series had only 
3 
reedplate screws for every harmonica, except the Blues Harp (2). Then 
Hohner invested in tooling to introduce the 2 extra screws for the MK 
MS. 3 were too little, now it is better. By the way, for some years 
now 
all MS harmonicas are "hand made", that is, the machine which 
riveted, 
set the gap and tuned the plates has been put out of use. The quality 
has increased considerably.

All the best,
Fernando
