I have just brought a Hohner Chordomonica designed by the late Cham-Ber-Huang.
Made from the 1960s discontinued early 1980s there were two models chordomonicas 1 10 hole one push button and the 11 12 hole with two buttons .keys of C E F G A
The wooden combe is split in three but all the reeds and valves are ok .
A couple of photos before and after disasembly.

Wow, don’t see many of those any more! Cham-Ber Huang was a cool guy and great player who came up with a bunch of highly original ideas for Hohner USA before starting his own company in the mid 1980s. Do you intend to restore this?

Thanks for the reply .
After sticking the comb it broke again during assembly so sent it of to a reputable repair man here in France , So hope to be able to play it very soon .Have seen one more on E bay fr for 30euros
which seems to be the going price . I would like to find the song book which was sold with this harmonica also written by Cham-Ber-Huang but sadly out of print.

Great, hope that it’s playable. Good luck with finding the songbook. You may want to try asking German Harmonica & Accordion Museum curator Martin Häffner if he has a copy and can maybe send you it in digital form: harmonika-museum@t-online.de
If you tell him I suggested contacting him that may help
