Like any other instrument, a harmonica needs proper maintainenance . Reeds<br />

and valves (on chromatics) will eventually show signs of wear and tear . For<br />

the ambitious player it's really a "must" to have the right tools at hand . The<br />

Harmonica Service Kit contains everything you need to tune and adjust reeds<br />

and replace windsaver valves: 1 tuning file, 1 reed lifter, 1 blade / reed wrench,<br />

1 scraper, replacement windsaver valves for chromonica, 1 tube windsaver<br />

glue, 1 bottle silicon oil, screwdriver, cleaning cloth and most importantly of<br />

all, an easy to understand instruction manual!<br />

With a little practise you will find that it's quite easy to adjust reeds which are<br />

clipping the slot or remove foreign objects which are blocking the reed . The<br />

blade can be used to adjust reed offsets to suit your playing style and you can<br />

use the file and scraper to retune reeds which have gone out of tune, as they<br />

eventually are likely to do .<br />

Probably the commonest simple repair is replacing windsavers on chromatic<br />

instruments . This becomes necessary when the note is accompanied by rattling<br />

or buzzing sounds . Usually in such cases the valve in question is bent upwards<br />

away from the reed plate . You need only to remove the old valve and any<br />

traces of glue and stick a new valve on in the same place with a tiny dab of the<br />

special glue . Another sensitive area is the chromatic slide assembly, which can<br />

tend to stick when it has dried out after intensive playing . You need to unscrew<br />

the slide assembly and clean the individual parts with alcohol and a lint-free<br />

cloth . It's a good idea to lubricate the slide with a drop of silicon oil before<br />

reassembling the slide mechanism .<br />

With the HOHNER Service Kit, all these things are no longer a problem . In<br />

addition, a well functioning instrument will increase your musical enjoyment<br />

enormously and also help you to play better .<br />

Note: HOHNER accepts no liability for damage to instruments caused by the<br />

use of this service kit .<br />
