The only reason I have the Suzuki is because my Chromonica has been in the shop for most of the last 15 months. But now my other harmonica has a bad reed, and Suzuki seems to be exceptionally bad providing support for their harmonicas, so I just wanted to know if Hohner reeds, for Chromatic harmonicas, would be a good fit for a Suzuki reed plate. Has anyone had experience with this? Hohner has been the only place on the web I have found harmonica reeds.
Hi Brian
Suzuki reeds differ fundamentally from Hohner reeds, as they’re made of phosphor bronze and are spot welded, whereas Hohner reeds are made of brass and are mounted with rivets. I’m not sure whether the reed dimensions would allow them to fit in a Suzuki reed plate, but you would have to find a means of attaching them. Sorry, but it doesn’t sound to me as though this would work.
Good luck
Steve
