hi--have a manji Charp--reg diatonic--needs 1 reed think 7 blow or 7 draw==I know oscars have shorter fat reeds--won't work==hohner has 'standard length reeds -short slot and long slot--I somewhere have 'old harponline charts' as to which reeds work where---have scrape hering reed plates-read somewhere that hering uses med size reeds?--also the reason I have scrapes is--I believe the metal [hering harps]- is inferior-they bend easily when tuning--even wrote the factory [in spanish not portaguese] saying I'll give a money order if u simply send the reeds--they said no--WHAT COMPANYS REED CAN i USE TO REPLACE???THANKS-----------------Also broke 9 draw on a firebreath G harp--WHICH OR WHO'S REEDS TO REPLACE???--IF ANY---I broke cuz I was to D.. lazy to take it apart and get hair or whatever was stalling it-kept blowing and drawing trying to clear--it may have already had a fracture --but any rate don't be impatient like me-take comb and reeds apart- wash and dry--and flick object out-or flick reed- until free--I was driving--oh well--Can get manji and firebreath reedplates no problem--but only want reeds broken--WHICH IS WHY HOHNER CROSSOVER IS MY HARP OF CHOICE OR GM--many different models are interchangeable--AND THEY SELL IND. OR PACKAGE OF 3 REEDS--anyway andrew zajac or any of U guys who work on harps--have ideas--plus may swap bunch hering reedplates with maybe 1 reed missing for ind reeds for my manji and firebreath--ALSO DO FIREBREATH AND MANJI HAVE THE SAME 'REEDS' NOT REEDPLATE -JUST IND. REED-??? THANKS SO MUCH--

Harpwrench (Joe) has some Manji reed plates listed in the for sale thread. That might be the way to go for now. Or, send them off to Gnarly (Gary) for repair.
