That's what I have collected from my free trade-in repairs... (three to one deal)

The only harmonicas I have ever broken are my LLF and one reed on the chromatic.

that confirms what I already knew-the harp players are the culprits in harp breakdown not the harps

Jim, when you use the iStrobosoft, is your version set to Capo or can you change the settings to JI or ET?

@groyster:

well yes and no... the longest stack of reedplates are '80s MS. They are very, very, VERY unreliable. And very unresponsive. I think I'll never have to use those.

@Zadozica:

I don't get the point... it shows very accurate pitch reading. Plus my ears - what else should I need to tune it? Besides, if I'm tuning to JI - I will only need to tune ONE reed (1 blow & 1 draw) - the rest can (and maybe even should be) done by ear.

there seems to much negative talk about the hohner MS series from the forum for that reason I have decided to stay away from the MS my meisterklasse is not an MS but a classic I hear the MS meisterklasse is POS

Jim, let me clarify my question.

There is only one tuner setting under iStrobosoft and that is Drop/Capo. There is no setting for ET or anything else like there is in Cleartune. SO I guess my question to you is if you use the Drop/Capo tuner setting for your work or does your version have other options?

I don't use any. I just auto-calibrated it and set the concert pitch.
