Max,
First you can't block a magnetic field only redirect it. See the website:

Also, as you use the magnetic mount, sliding your harp across the magnet, you are effectively magnetizing you cover plates which will make matters worse.

Subject: [Harp-L] Steel Reeds & Magnetic Harpracks

Good afternoon
Been a while since I've posted.

Recently switched to steel reeds, 
I have been using a Harplock magnetic harmonica holder on an SM58 mic.
Great for stagework & fast key changes.

In another show, it's all accoustic work,so no mic-stands. 
I recently aquired what I consider to be the RollsRoyce (remember those?)
of of the sholder Harp-racks from Farmer Footdrums.com 
Would/Should be a dream combo !

Problem is, the magnets ocasionaly attract the reeds lowering the pitch or even blocking them completely.
Is there an anti-magnetic  product ( tape/paste/other ?) out there that can be fixed on the inside of the covers.
All advice welcome
Thanks in advance
Mox
