Hohner 12 hole Chromatic, Super Chromonica. A # is " flat."

Hohner 12 hole Chromatic, Super Chromonica. A # is flat. It is 1 1/2 years old. Had a repair done at the Hohner repair center last March. Believe that repair was D, hole five. At that time the harp was 10 month's old.
Am not abusing the harp. The repair cost $ 29.00. Thought I could find a local repair center at a better price. Perhaps I could learn to do the repairs myself. I live near Reading, PA.

Any suggestions.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Best,

Fred

You can take it apart by removing the two screws, see if any of the reels seem blocked or obstructed by dirt, bits of dust, oxydation (greenish crystalline stuff) or similar, try to remove the stuff that seems to obstruct the reel with a medium hardness paintbrush (you might want to use some alcohol), but be very careful not to permanently bend or otherwise damage the reels, it will ruin the sound of the harmonica.

I have a chromatic harmonica a hohner chromonica 12 hole and some of the reeds are a bit duff and squeak or dont work when i play. what can i do to repair it or who can i see in the devon/ cornwall area...

Sounds like you need to flush teh unit out as it has contamination. You might try using mild detergent and DE-IONIZED water.
I would first search google for "cleaning harmonica" for suggestions. You need to clean the reeds and NOT leave any residue. DE_IONIZED water should not promote rust or corrosion if dried quickly after cleaning and rinsing. I would lube the slides with CRC226 available in the electrical dept of Home Depot.

Hi Have recently purchased a Honer 280 /64

These harminicas are warranteed and rarely have problems. Either return it to the place of purchase for an exchange or contact Hohner directly. My experience with this company is that they are eager to make things right.

Larry adler hohner chromatic 12 harmonica needs re tuning or new reedplates, any advice welcome.

Probably just needs cleaning. Search google for cleaning instructions. Dirt or deposits on the reeds increases the mass and will cause them to go flat in pitch.

Recently I bought 12 hole Hohner chromatic. First

I would be tempted to try spraying CRC226 into the harmonica. It is available at Home Depot in the electrical department, usually near the electrical tape in a blue can about $2.70. It is plastic safe and is a water displacer and a very LIGHT lubricator. If there is crud in there it may dislodge it. It also is good at preventing rust and freeing rusty pliers, etc.
