I couple of years ago, when I decided to tear into my harps, I was fortunate to still be able to get stuff from Hetrick. 2 items have been particularly useful. One was the generous amount of stainless steel shim stock he sent me for a pittance and the other was the tuning cap.
As I try to bring my harmonica playing compadres into the light, and increase world wide reed plate sales, does anyone know where can I send them for one of those Hetrick tuning caps? Those things are the cat's meow.

The French Tuner is 200 per cent larger than the tuning cap! :) It's used to tune octaves on the blow reed, but you can use it for single notes, too.
I have a few left made out of Plex at a lower cost.
See the For Sale 2014 for more details.

Oooo! I like it. Does it work on Lee Oskars and other long read harps?

Yes it does! Hohner, Lee Oskar, Manji, Seydel (with their wider holes) ...

Oh, that seems quite interesting and more than that, a time saving tool.
I too might order one later then.

@Mahcks - Excellent. Being new to this tweak game I would like an airtight adapter which fits into the hole of a harp [covers off only] that would allow you to punch a note without adjusting for reeds that flap in your mustache.

Andrew's French Tuner is an excellent tool and saves me a lot of time when tuning.
