.. This can be adjusted. As a general rule, Hohner reeds are wider than Hering slots. This can be adjusted 
either at the reed or the slot. 

  It's been a long time since I've tried it but iirc, Hering reeds aren't as long as Hohners.  I've heard this can 
be overcome but I never understood how.  Dave Payne once posted a supposedly simple method, but i 
couldn't understand his instructions.  What is the best way to make a short reed fit into a slot that is too long?
  Next question: how do u adjust a reed that is too wide for it's slot?
