Hohner Harmonica Service Set (multilingual)

15-MZ99340

This is the basic toolkit for everyday maintenance of your harmonica – be it diatonic, tremolo or chromatic harmonica.

Like any other instrument, a harmonica needs proper maintenance. Reeds and valves (on chromatics) will eventually show signs of wear and tear. For the ambitious player it‘s really a must to have the right tools at hand. The Hohner Harmonica Service Kit contains everything you need to tune and adjust reeds and replace windsaver valves.

It includes:

• 1 tuning file

• 1 reed lifter

• 1 blade / reed wrench

• 1 scraper

• Replacement windsaver valves for any chromatic harmonica

• 1 tube windsaver glue

• 1 bottle silicon oil *

• Screwdriver

• Cleaning cloth

• An easy to understand instruction manual

With a little practise you will find that it‘s quite easy to adjust reeds which are clipping the slot or remove foreign objects which are blocking the reed. The blade can be used to adjust reed offsets to suit your playing style and you can use the file and scraper to retune reeds which have gone out of tune, as they eventually are likely to do.

For more advanced repairs – including the replacement of individual reeds – see the more comprehensive Instant Workshop Toolkit.

[*Note – the use of slide oil should be used VERY sparingly or not at all. Although it is included in the service kit our harmonica technician does not recommend its use. Oil, water and dirt is not a good mix and does not replace the proper cleaning of your instrument.]
