RE: [Harp-L] my dream harmonica: 13 hole harmonica that fits in a turbo lid

[Avery Man <elfrex@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

thanks smojo. My problem was that the 12 hole and 14 hole marine bands have wider spacing so i could only fit the 12 hole inside a turbolid after i sawed and filed the sides with 2mm of wood teeth at the ends and no coverplate screw to provide reedplate pressure at the ends after i sawed. richard sleigh sent me a link to Brendan Powers' site which has something very close to what i want. he makes 12 hole and 14 hole marine bands with regular spacing in plastic combs. I suppose I could then perform your operation on the 14 or have brendan do it for me and have the size i need. I like sandwich plates better than recessed but it's pretty close to what i imagine. 

sorry for my long windedness. i can't believe you read the message.
