Re: [Harp-L] question about rivets

As Winslow said, it's going to be really nice down the road when you need to swap a reed, if screws are already in there.

You can buy rivets from Hohner USA - the phone number is buried somewhere on their website.

You can also get screws for attaching reeds from harponline. They use the direct screw-down method as opposed to the screw post-and-nut method. The former is simpler but the latter allows for better long term wear if a reed is replaced (or removed and reinstalled) multiple times.

Where does a guy get rivets for attaching reeds?  Specifically, I want them for CX12 reeds.

I have ordered some CX12 reeds from harponline and will be attaching them to a custom made reedplate, so there are no old riviets to re-use.

Any information and advice will be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
