Thanks Fernando. I've got a couple of these that need reed replacements;
now I know where to get the reeds from!

Well, the 364 and 365 Marine Band harmonicas, including, of course, the
SBS,
use chromatic harmonica reeds, and, if I am not mistaken, they also
have the
same distance between reeds as chromatic harmonicas (same tool, with
half
the slots left out). This is probably the reason, why these harmonicas
have
the wider spacing.

Cheers,
Fernando
