[Harp-L] Replacement reed plates vs replacing reeds

["lil Buddha" <ltlbuddha@xxxxxxxxx>]

Bushman, Hering, Hohner and Suzuki all sell replacement reed plates for at
least some of their harmonicas.
Single plates available on at least the Bushman at around $9. Full plate
sets from $12 to $23 bucks for the various manufacturers.
Balance this cost vs the time/cost to replace single reeds on a plate set on
which the rest of the reeds may be fatigued.
And you can get a harp up and running in a fraction of the time.
To be clear, I am not knocking custom work. No stock harp matches a
custom/customized harp, period.
I just think a great option to have available.
