I was just looking at the Hohner site. I don't see the 365s anymore. Is anyone making 14 hole reed plates?

The 365 was given the axe about five years ago.
You can often find old ones eBay.

How about that? I’d failed to notice they went.
I have 2 365s, G and C. Stock, late 70s I believe. Virtually NOS when I purchased.
I made some repairs to 365s; I believe they use Knittlinger reeds as per some of the Hohner chromatics so they should be readily repairable still.
I used some reeds from a Lee Oskar in one of the repairs. Last time I checked they were still doing the job

I have a C from probably the 80's if not older. Still plays as well as ever.

I was hoping someone was still making them in 14s. I have an idea for something. Actually I was hoping Seydel would have something where I could order the tuning I need, but they seem to only have 12 reed reed plates. I've got one that is out on loan to a friend for some work right now. I may look for one on ebay though. (Edit- found one on Etsy.)

I like the 365 for retuning--just made a B Harmonic minor Major Cross from one (only me, I know).
I can't find my PentaBender in C, that was made from a 365 SBS, Mike Peace put screws into the plates, glad I don't need it for a gig!

Gnarly, that's the part I'm dreading. I need to completely retune them from top to bottom.

Nothing to dread, just painstaking.
It helps sometimes to swap reeds.
