Brother Mark et alia,

    Don't forget to let Hohner know how you feel. Without your valued 
concerns, how will they make corrections?

Be Blues...And Jazz,

Subject: [Harp-L] Screws for MBs and getting screwed by Hohner


To all who customize,
Any suggestions as to where one can get screws to replace nails in Marine 
Band cover plates? What about replacing reedplate nails with screws? Any 
recommendations for outlets (mailorder/weborder) that specialize in the 
sizes needed for both?
Sorry if this question has been asked ad nauseum, I don't have time to scour 
the archives (well, I'm a bit lazy, too!)
Also, can any alternative reed plates be used in traditional non-MS series 
GMs, SP20s or MBs? Or, is one stuck replacing reeds as they go with spare 
parts from dead harps?

By the way, can someone just come out and say that Hohner is screwing us 
with their low quality harps? At least, they should make it easier for us to 
fix the crap they sell us! Like making reedplates available for non-MS 
harps--I got a suitcase full of those.

I suppose I could just stop buying 'em...but I've been playing MBs for 30+ 
years...(sigh)
