[Harp-L] Re: Nickel Allergy



I asked Hohner harmonica product management in the factory about this and can tell you the following in regard to Hohner harmonicas:

No diatonic models have nickel plated covers any more, they've all been stainless steel for the past several years. The only nickel plating on a Hohner diatonic is on the Meisterklasse reed plates. Meisterklasse covers are chrome plated.

Some chromatic models have a nickel plated mouthpiece and slide assembly and some have nickel plated reed plates, which however don't come into contact with the skin. The following chromatics are all definitely nickel-free in terms of skin contact:

Super Chromonica Deluxe, CX-12, Toots Hard Bopper & Mellowtone, Meisterklasse, Super 64, Super 64X, Amadeus, Silver Concerto
