I gave this a try to add less often used keys to my kit and they work great. I had these old harps with bad reeds in my junk bin. Bluesmasters, Harpmasters, and early Delta Frost combs all accepted Story reed plates and played more easily than the original Suzuki plates.

The plates are under $20 at Ron's and come in regular and low keys (as well as some minor keys I have not tried.)

This is an inexpensive way to repurpose these harps for infrequently used keys and to get a low F or low F# harp at low cost.

Cool! That means they also fit into the other Suzuki harmonicas.
Something worth keeping in mind for people who own Suzuki harmonicas that no longer function.
