Thankyou! The development is Michael's baby and I did the script on the basis of his descriptions.

At present I believe they're only available as a set, but it may be an option in future,

The overall concept is the brainchild of Hohner Service Department head Michael Timler and the official launch will take place at NAMM.

The tools and techniques presented here will also be invaluable for harmonica technicians and may well revolutionize harmonica repair by rendering it accessible to everyman. In an era where more and more commodities are seen as being disposable, it's a welcome sign that things don't always have to be throwaway! Here the links to the individual videos:
