Hi all
I wanted to let you know about the new custom 3 octave chromatic harmonica with stainless steel comb, brass cover plates and a new revolutionary quick attach magnet system:

This prototype was a collaboration between Will’s Make harmonica manufacturer and me.
I appreciate all the valuable design input they provided to make the new quick-attach system a reality.
This harmonica encompasses a lot of useful features found in other chromatic harmonicas and even more:
Slider package:
-half moon shaped mouthpiece (similar to Seydel Saxony)
-slider has only minimal contact points to reduce friction (similar to Polle Silver Concerto)
-slider package consists only of mouth piece and slider (similar to the Easttop chromatic)
-pockets are cut into mouth piece and comb to reduce slider friction (similar to Harmonica Art chromatics)
-extended slide button to increase area for finger placement (similar to Tombo MU-01)
Comb (stainless steel):
-fits Seydel Saxony reed plates (with long-life steel reeds)
-reed plates can be separately attached to comb, 11 screws on each side (similar to Silver Concerto)
Covers (silver plated brass):
-single reed chambers (similar to e.g. CBH 2012/16)
-carved out channels (below mouthpiece) to retain moisture when playing (similar to Polle Silver Concerto)
-new unique quick-attach magnet system which helps to take the covers off within seconds for maintenance work or cleaning (new feature)
