A friend is looking for someone to repair his grandfather's vintage Hohner Tremolo harp. I played it a little, many of the reeds play well and sound good, but a few are way off or don't sound at all.
Any leads? Harp is currently in northern California.

I'd contact either Andrew Zajac or Tom Halchak, for starters. If they can't do it they probably know who can.

Your best bet may be George Miklas. He's on the east coast, but he specializes in repair (he doesn't make combs like Andrew or Tom). George knows tremolos (and just about every other type of harmonica), while the others mentioned so far mainly work on single reed diatonics AFAIK.
George is on Facebook, or you can visit his website http://www.harmonicagallery.com

If you'd rather deal with someone on the west coast, there's Burke Trieschemann in Albany (east bay). Burke works mainly on diatonics and chromatics, but he's knowledgeable, conscientious, and thorough and could likely work on a tremolo.
