[Harp-L] Hohner CBH 2012 & 2016 repair charges

[Richard Sleigh <rharp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In reference to the recent comments on the Hohner repair de[artment:

I have repaired CBH 2012 and 2016 harmonicas, and can tell you one  
thing that the Hohner repair department does that is well worth the  
repair cost even if nothing else is done. They have a jig for re-  
facing the mouthpiece parts that restores super close tolerances. The  
composite material used in the body and mouthpiece is remarkably  
stable, but over time does warp a tiny bit due to temperature changes  
and screw tension. Getting these parts to fit perfectly again is a  
nightmare for someone without the right tools, and they have the right  
tools. What took me 3 hours to do at my shop they do in a relatively  
short period of time and with better results. Nobody can touch the  
quality control they have over that job, and you don't realize how  
much of a difference it makes until you get the work done. You just  
gradually get used to the drop in compression and the extra resistance  
in the slide mechanism, and then when they re-do it, it is a very  
pleasant surprise.

Those prices are very reasonable.
