From: "Mike and Beverly Rogers"
Subject: Chromatic questions.

Hello again, and thanks in advance for advice. I recieve great advice here.
I have a Super X, 16 hole Hohner, that seems to eat reeds. I have never tried
replacing a reed, but this critter is a frequent flyer, to Hohner repair, with
flat notes. I have an ancient Chromonica that I got at a yard sale in the
early seventies. It has some weak notes, but nothing flat. This thing is
from the forties, as old as I am. I just bought a new Chromonica, the
cheapest from Hohner, and it doesn't have the tone of either of the others.
I'm blind, and wonder if replacing reeds is something I should attempt. I
make my money with harps, and go through them at a good clip. I've gone with
harp replacement rather than repair, for years. Any advice would be
gratefully appreciated. Bullfrog
