[Harp-L] Replacement housing for CX 12

[harplayer.roger@aol.com]

Thank you for your response. I have a couple of Kongsheng KB12s. I never tried putting the guts of the CX 12 in them. They have a different spring mechanism so I don’t know. I really like the sound of the CX 12 but not so much for the KB 12. I appreciate your input and will at least try it. 
Maybe someone on the list will have a shell for sale from a broken CX 12.

If you like the Hohner CX-12, you might want to look into the Kongsheng KB-12... 
It looks like they come in different colors... not sure if the shell would fit a CX-12... maybe someone knows.
Here is a video from Brendan Power, where he includes the KB-12 as a possible good chromatic, with no valves.

Thank you for your suggestion. I really would like to get one that is a different color than black. Also I am not that handy with working on things unfortunately. Roger

Check the Powerpatch from Brendan Power. I have a number of my CX-12s fitted with these by Steve Malerbi. It is usually necessary to reduce the size of the spring/bar to make them work the best. 
Hohner does sell the shells/covers, but the pricing is not that friendly.https://brendan-power.com/combs-hohner-CX12.php#powerpatch

Feel free to contact me off list; happy to help.Michael Peloquin

Subject: [Harp-L] Replacement housing for CX 12 I would like to find a cover plate or housing for a CX 12 that I broke the outside to but the insides work just fine. I am looking for one that the color is not black. Not the Jazz model but only the standard CX 12. New or used is fine. ThanksRoger
