Well, that didn't go like planned. I finally had covers that would fit my low F harmonica with screw refit. I have gorgeous purple covers from Blue Moon Harmonicas to go with the gorgeous purple fantasy marble comb I got from Chris Reynolds. The reed plates are gorgeous sounding. The only problem was, well, when I redrilled the nail holes for screws I misaligned something. I tried fixing it with a little drilling.
The purple covers still look great. The reed plate is fine.
I can't believe I cracked the gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous comb!
:( :( :(
Chris, I don't know how much time you spend on MBH these days, but I think maybe I'll send the covers and plates to you for assembly when I order the new comb, if that's all right. I should have used the little hand cranked brain drill we have. (Don't ask.)
If there is an afterlife, somewhere, Buddha is looking down from his harp bench laughing at me.

You should be able to super glue it back together. I've broke many custom combs myself. Once, I was opening the package, took out a gemstone comb to admire it, and immediately dropped it and broke it.

I got the same advice off list. That's a relief. :)

Yeah, just glue 'em! I've cracked a couple (dymondwood) combs. One right in half, and a comb tine of the other. Glued and clamped them and they work perfectly )no leakage, etc.). I broke them doing the same thing you did: mis-drilled and was trying to fix it. Eventually, I'll buy a drill press, but until then, I'm keeping things pretty stock when it comes to hole alignments...

Put the harmonica together before the glue dries
