I didn't know that shaker was making their own crystal cartridges.  Growing cystals is expensive and complicated.  I'm surprised that shaker would be able to afford such an undertaking.

I don't know the answer to either thing. Have you written Mouser customer service?
 
At any rate....I somewhat hope Kobitone HAS discontinued them. Maybe it'll finally force Hohner into looking for a slightly better quality crystal like the ones Shaker uses. Or better yet...start using ceramic or dynamic elements of some quality design.

I discovered yesterday that mouser is no longer selling the Kobitone 25LM022 Crystal Element that Hohner uses in their Bluesblaster and JT30 microphones.  Does anyone know if Kobitone is no longer making the element or is it simply that mouser is no longer selling the elements?

Thanks,
