There shouldn't be problems concerning the covers, however you might 
enounter difficulties with the comb. As an example the Hohner Marine 
Band keys G to Db have a different comb than keys D to F. Other vendors 
also use so called long slot and short slot combs for differnet keys. 
You have to make sure the comb fits the reedplates.
