My store is not taking any orders today due to health reasons which limit to my productivity.

My custom harmonicas, combs and tools are made to order. If items are out of stock on my website, it's likely due to my workload is at the limit. Please see my dealers for all items I offer.
Maximum production times may be up to 16 business days for combs and tools. Current production time for custom harmonicas are shown on the top of the custom page.
Thanks for your support.

Metric Taps
A tap is very useful to clean out the thread of a harmonica that has stubborn-fitting screws. These imperfect threads are usually made by self-tapping screws at the factory. Struggling with these bad threads can lead to over tightening of the screw and warping of the reed plate or striping of the thread.
These are high-quality taps for M2 and M1.6 screws used in every model of diatonic harmonica. Convert a Marine Band 1896 from nails to all-screw assembly. A tap creates a thread into which you can fit a screw. Tapped reedplates are secured to the comb without needing a nut.
The use of a pin vise or tap handle is recommended and is sold separately.
