I've been really enjoying my shop time lately. In addition to finally getting caught up I'm working on chromatic mouthpieces again and I'm having some really good results with them. I'm working on expanding my hands free chromatic lineup to include the 260, older style straight tuned 280's, and I'm working on the design for an HFC conversion for the cross tuned chromatics. I've also been working on adding some more chromatic combs to my linuep. All in all I've really been enjoying myself lately working on some new projects. I also added a conversion option for folks that are interested in the HFC where they can get their harp converted. HFC conversion It feels really good to be back to developing new stuff again.

We are glad you're back at it!
Your chromatic combs are sweet!
The diatonics look good too.
I'll have a matching set soon!

I just finished up the plates and put them on a comb today, I'll put the mouthpiece and covers on tomorrow and do the final shaping.
As soon as it's finished I'll send you some pics.

The harp turned out great looking.

Thanks Chris,
The mouthpiece is slick.
Ive never played a CBH, so maybe it's like that MP.
It seems like a cross of Hohner and a Hering MP, but in slick polished Corian .
Very easy to get a seal and slide up and down the harp, it lays flat when screwed down and seems airtight. A definite improvement on the stock Hohner mouthpiece .
I'll finish the other harp when my hardware shipment of screws and nuts and such gets here. The next one is the dark Basil Corian and rosewood.

Glad you like the mouthpieces. The design is very similar to the cbh 2016. Can't wait to see the second one.

Would anyone be interested in me starting to make stainless steel combs again?
