I need a couple of DEEP Lee Oskar covers for lower reeds in LOW keys.

Hi Duke!
On the Lee Oscar harp accessories page there only seems to be one type of cover plate. And the lowest key that LO come is is Low-F. I bought a set of replacement reedplates in Low-F and swapped out the key of C ones and it works fine with little or no rattling. So, do they even make a deep coverplate or do you have to DIY?

An alternative, if you can't find the plates(if they even exist), and you have a reed or two that rattle, is to use a rounded punch or something similar(like the tine of a tuning fork), and a few light taps from a hammer and actually make a depression parallel with the reed on the inside of the cover plate until the rattle is no longer evident. HarveyHarp taught me this, and I've done it on a couple of harps. Yeah, you'll have a raised area in the cover plate, but it's much less annoying than the reed rattle.

Arzajac, the lower keyed LO's definitely are thicker. I'm not sure exactly where the break is. My Bb and C seem to be the same width, but my G is fatter. I don't have an A or Ab LO so I don't know about them and I don't have a caliper to figure out exactly how much the difference is.

Here's the difference between the bottom cover of a Bb vs G , I think any low key harp should have that , finally Hohner decided to do it on their Thunderbird.
