Rather cheap construction of bakerlite, but I thought it was a cool idea.

Subject: [Harp-L] Swappable Reeds 

I seem to recall quite a few years ago, someone on harp-l claimed to be 
working on a diatonic where you could easily swap the reeds out to create 
custom tunings. I guess the reeds would snap or slide into place. 
Obviously that project never came to fruition, but I'm wondering, has it 
ever been done and why not?
