I just updated our customizer list (mostly taking out broken links). I had Ben, and I added Harmonica Online Shop. Here is a list of people who customize harps. I'm not sure who is in Europe, although I know a few of them are- Dannecker, BlueX, Broudur, Ergo, and Boris (I just sent him a IM to see if he has a more recent site).

Hi nacoran, I've missed your thread! In effect, I'm interested, in particular way, to guys which make good reeds/reedplates job optimizing the harp. More "setup-service" and less "customization" I can say...Exotical combs and wood cover are nice but I think that an effective reeds/reedplates job is a core of harp performance.
A better comb for some cheap harp (special 20, bluesmaster and so on...) can improve the airtighteness, but without an effective reed/reedplate job the performances are limited anyway. My philosophy is to buy a a good out-of-the-box harp with "affordable" price like suzuki promaster, tombo aero, seydel 1847 silver, and then do the reeds/reedplates job: these harps don't need custom parts in my humble opinion...So, with less 100$ we can have a superior harp...danneker, brodur, dortel are all awesome harps but a lot expansive...
Ben Bouman can do that (especially on seydel harmonicas, but he can work on others brand I think...).
Can you advise someone in your list considering my request?
Many thanks, bye
