[Harp-L] Wood combs and other parts

[Michael Easton <diachrome@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've taken a break from Harp l and the harp business for a few months  
so I could take care of biz around the house.

When I start back on August 15 I will no longer be making custom  
diatonics or chromatics.  The stress of working in the dental field
in the day and customizing harps in the evening then  gigging on the  
weekends has me stressed out.  I will build some prewar 270s and 280s  
for sale down the road but
only at my leisure.  I'll still  offer repairs and restoration work.   
You can check the update on my web site later this month.

I decided to take the huge inventory of vintage and prewar NOS  
chromatic, diatonic and tremolo parts and sell them direct to the  
public.
I will not offer bulk discount prices since the prices will already  
be low.  This includes parts for most wood comb chromatics that  
Hohner built including
the Deluxe I and II and Chrometta parts.  Parts for Educator I  
(excluding reed plates) diatonic and  parts for the 20 hole septet  
tremolo harps (excepting reed plates).

I read players complaining about wood combs.   I'm selling NOS pre  
and post war 260/270 combs for $5 per comb.   Can't complain about  
those prices.
You will need a drill press to bore the spring post hole.  Hohner  
doesn't sell them with the post hole drilled.

I'm keeping a small stash of parts for the repair business. Once  
these parts are sold they are gone.  I don't plan on selling newer  
parts direct.

I'll also have 1000's of reeds for "C" chromatics for sale shortly.

The only wood comb parts I don't have for sale are slides.   Contact  
me via my biz address at  fatheadmi at comcast dot net
