Reeds and reedplates are made of brass or phosphor bronze and do not rust.

However, the rivets that fasten the reeds to the plates are made of steel that can rust. Also, some overs and other metal marts may be made of steel that will rust. Steel parts may be plated with chrome or nickel, but if this wears away, again the steel can rust.

Some harmonicas have stainless steel covers, which do not rust.
