Okay, that's a pity.
  Personally I don't like those rivets, but a couple of harp techs think
I'm crazy not 
to, horses for courses.   I sourced my stock of MS rivets initially through
harponline.de which is no more, then through a NZ importer who deals with
Hohner Germany directly.  Hohner MS rivets definitely exist, and can be
ordered from Hohner Germany at the very least, therefore I don't see why
other Hohner companies can't order them in.
  Perhaps if asked nicely, Sissy, or her collegue would include them in
next time they place a shipment order from Germany?  It'd mean a delay.
  Failing that, I found Mrs B. Huber at Hohner Germany very helpful.
