You can put Seydel 1847 covers on your Lee Oskar .
You have better "slide" and comfort for your lips , and the tone is good .
I suppose many of you are aware of that .

Is there other covers I can put on Lee Oskars? I never have liked green eggs and ham, but maybe with different covers I could try them anew!

With a drill press and a Dremel Moto Tool an astounding amount of harmonica parts become interchangeable. Suzuki reed plates on Marine Band combs turn out reel nice. The Hohner shop is clearing out a bunch of Pre-MS Meisterklasse reed plates which are only a couple of holes away from fitting Marine Band combs. These turn out reel nice also. See ebay.
Lee Oskars are a bit the red headed step child, because they are slightly bigger everywhere, but you can get big improvements with a little bit of work.
Of course, the Suzuki Manji rendered all this do-it-yourself customizing virtually pointless, but they came along too late for me.
Proceed with caution Jice. I don't think anyone has found a cure yet.
