Product Description

Andrew Zajac Reed Replacement Kit

Includes:

- Stainless steel reed replacement screws (75 pieces screws and washers)
- M1.4 tap and pin vise
- 3/64" drill bit
- Reed removal spine
- Hardened and tempered O1 steel reed removal pin
- Flattening pin
- Rivet bar

Two types of screws are provided. 5mm Phillips head screws are easy to handle but require trimming once in place. The shorter flat head screws are harder to pick up with your fingers but don't need to be cut. (Dip your screwdriver in Vaseline to make the tiny screw stick to the tip!) Washers are a big help to keep the reed in place as you tighten the screw. With a little practice, you won't even need to use a washer.

You will need some extra items. These items are so common that I chose not to include them in the kit to keep the cost down. They are easily found at a hardware store for less than a total of £10.

Items you will need (not included):

- Small Phillips head screwdriver
- flush cutting pliers
- A brick or a small anvil; or something else that's flat and heavy. At a minimum, you need two pounds of weight. The more mass you have under your reed plate, the easier it will be to do the job.
- Flat sanding surface (a flat board and a sheet of 220 grit sandpaper - the same thing as in preparing a reed plate for a flat comb) and a little extra sandpaper.
- 1/16", 5/64" and 3/32" drill bit
- small hammer
- A reed wrench (you won't find this in a hardware store... Click below to add one to the kit.)
- New reeds. You can scavenge a new reed from another reed plate or contact Hohner or Seydel and buy individual reeds from them.

I've purchased harmonicas from here a few times; every time it came in perfect condition. Very happy with service!

Andrew Zajac Marine Band Conversion Kit

Andrew Zajac Marine Band Conversion Kit

£5.99
Andrew Zajac Marine Band Conversion Kit contains all of the parts you need to convert your 1896 Classic to a more robust and user friendly bolted setup. Almost every harmonica player had owned a Marine Band 1896 harmonica. They are the traditional gold standard diatonic harmonica. For many, the fact they are assembled with nails can cause a problem if you want to improve the comb, perform reed work or embossing. This kit provides you with the necessary stainless steel screws and nuts as well as instructions to convert a Marine Band 1896 from nails to all-screw assembly. (A pairing knife to open the Marine Band 1896, a drill and other commonly available supplies are not included with this kit but are easily obtainable.) Nuts are used instead to adding the extra steps of tapping (creating a thread) the draw plate to speed up the process. This simplified approach is the easiest way to convert from nails to screws. Contains: Six Stainless Steel M2 screws for the reed plates and the cover plates Six Stainless Steel M2 Nuts One checklist to help you through the process Three screws hold the reed plates to the comb and two more hold the covers on to the reed plates. Only five screws and nuts are needed for this job but an extra set is included just in case... These screws have a Phillips head - No need to buy a weird-tipped screwdriver to use these!... Read more
