Golden Melody repair

The 10 hole blow doesn’t work. I’ve taken cover plates off and played with reed, but it still doesn’t work. Now I’m unable to unscrew the reed plates from the comb. I’ve done this before, but wonder what’s going on.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

What’s preventing you from unscrewing the reed plates? Are they affixed with cross head screws, or could this be a really old model where the reed plates are affixed with nails? A photo would help.

I tried again and I finally got the screws out. I don’t know what was preventing the screws from coming out.

Thanks for your help.

No worries. Often the screws are tightened too firmly, it’s better not to over-tighten them.
