Howdy,
A friend just inherited some chromatic harps from his father and asked if I knew where he could get them repaired. I am having difficulty locating someone. Everyone I know will do work on their own harps and possibly those of close friends but that's about it. Can anyone point me in the direction of people who do chromatic repairs (preferably in the USA)?
Thanks much,
Ryan

Where in the US?
In California there's Steve Malerbi.
In Minnesota there's Dick Gardner.
In Ohio there's George Miklas.
On the east coast there's Mike Easton.
And then there's Sissi Augistine, for many years the main Hohner tech, now retired. Not sure where she's living nowadays.

Hi--Spam filter ate my reply, here it is again.
I repair chromatic harmonicas, as well as diatonics. I am in San Diego, California, and work on Hohners, but am employed by Suzuki USA to do their harp repairs.
You can reach me at gnarlyheman AT gmail DOT com
