Custom Harmonica Screws!

"Already replaced those ugly looking little brass nuts and bolts on my Special-20 with the stainless steel she-bolts. Looks great, and no more snagging your finger-tip or cleaning cloth on the sharp end of the brass bolt." - Glenn, B. 08/10/12

Special 20 with Stainless Steel

This is for 4 sets of custom "sexbolt" stainless or brass coverplate screws. This will allow you to install one marine band deluxe/crossover or TWO special 20 harmonicas, two Big Rivers, two 1847s etc. These cost us ALOT to have custom made, please understand that this is the best price we could offer! Have you ever called Hohner or other companies and tried purchasing those fancy male and female coverplate screws? There as pricy as $4 each! Ours cost about a buck. These will fit: Marine Band Deluxe, Crossover, Thunderbird, Special 20, Big River and most other MS Series like Blues Harp, Meisterclasse, and ProHarp, SEYDEL 1847! , and Suzuki Manji! You can also drill out your Marine Band 1896 if you use a #109 or 1/8 inch drill. IF YOU DON'T SEE YOUR MODEL LISTED IT DOES NOT FIT! Please don't ask us for metric sizes we don't know!

Seydel Long Pipe Coverplate Screws/Chromatic Screws

These are long-piped Seydel reedplate screws that are specifically design for the rounded Seydel Session and Favorite model coverplates and will also fit chromatics. It is not recommended to use them with Seydel 1847ish models because the screw may be too long. If you want stainless steel Seydel screws we offer our own custom stainless screws that fit them above on this page. When you purchase, you get one set. Head cross-slot for Screwdriver Pozidriv Size PZ0.  Extra charge for international shipping.

Microsuede PT Gazell Designed Valves for Diatonics

PLEASE NOTE: It is assumed that you know what you are doing when you use these. The valves come with with a note layout diagram, but no instructions for installation. WE do not offer support on this at this time. You can use superglue for installation or 527 natural Shellac glue available on Amazon or at craft stores like Michael's. Hald-valving your diatonic (will work on other models besides Seydel), you have the ability to play chromatically with similar overblow techniques, without squeal.

This purchase is for valves for self-installation - suited for all models from the Blues-series (10 hole models); 3 valves for each length (30 pcs). You get the original valves that Seydel uses for the optional available half-valved instruments and the Seydel harmonicas that are PT Gazell method. These valves minimize air loss when playing blow or draw notes. If both reeds of a corresponding reed pair are equipped with valves, the possibilities of bending the notes is very limited. If a valve is only closing the lower tuned reed of the pair then bending notes remains possible. On a fully valved harmonica air-loss is minimized, bendability is restricted very much. The valve set provided is suited for one full-valved instrument (+ set of spare valves) or three half-valved instruments. On half-valved instruments the valves(=windsavers) must be attached onto the draw plate of 1-6 (the valve is situated on the inside of hole) and onto the blow plate of 7-10 (valve is situated on outside of upper plate then). This leads to better air-tightness of the instrument - bending notes are still playable, whereas overbendings can not be played anymore. Please use very little amounts of a suited glue - if you use superglue (gel) please let it dry out 100% as the solvent used in these glues are harmful. DOES NOT come with screws, reedplates, or glue.

Chromatic Valves/Windsavers

This purchase is for a self-install chromatic valve set with 6 valves per lenghts (12 different lenghts = 72 valves). These are manufactured by Seydel, but are universal enough to fit other chromatic brands, but not fall under warranty please be noted. DOES NOT come with glue or install instructions. We are not supporting this product at this time. It is assumed that you know what you are doing when you purchase. We recommend using standard super glue (with ample time to dry to avoid toxic fumes) or 527 natural shellac glue available on Amazon or many craft stores like Michael's.
