A friend of mine plays the chromatic- a Suzuki 64 and has gotten pretty good at it. He asked me if I knew anyone that did customizing work for chromatic harmonica so he could up his game- the only one Im aware of is Brendan Power but he only does custom combs for the chromatic- not any actual customizing on the Harmonica itself.
I thought about letting him watch the hot rod harmonica dvd set I got from Richard but remembered that Suzuki had bronze reed plates not brass like Hohner.
Do the same kind of techniques apply for customizing chromatics. along with the materials.
I would think that different reed materials would require different tools. Does anyone have any help for me here.
Is there anyone out there that does Chromatic work- Making them bend easier etc. I want to steer him in the right direction
Thank you

There's also Steve Malerbi, an independent tech in northern California who works on chromatics for some high profile pro players. You can email him as harpsurgeon-at-hotmail.com

If it is not a warranty issue (and I doubt that customization is), better to contact me at the email address on my account here--just click my name.
Steve usually has a wait, but lately so do I--have a lot of work piled up here at home.
