wait, I think I misunderstood the question.

I think so because they they leak on recessed combs as well.
Perhaps not as badly as in Randy's case if indeed he's mixing and
matching different model parts but certainly noticeable. To
reiterate, the Harpmasters/Bluesmasters are good harps. They're
fast playing with smooth bends and overbends after tweaking. That's
why the leaky covers are a curiosity. Perhaps my lips serve to
block the leaky areas as I play and it's a moot point. I can't
tell. On the other hand, there might be a little more goodness to
be had from them with proper fitting covers.
One more thing. The Harpmaster has only three screws holding the
reedplates to the comb. They're already drilled for four more but
when I tried to add some extra screws they are positioned right
where the cover tab starts. Almost exactly. A millimeter would have
given enough clearance but noooo. I know adding extra screws can't
help a fundamentally bad harp but I thought it couldn't hurt one
that is pretty decent.
