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.

Every day is reed work day. I work on shaping reeds just about every day.
"True customizing always involves painstaking adjustment of reeds and reed plates; true custom harmonicas are like fine wine – they take time to make and very hard to come by, as demand far outstrips supply."
-HOHNER AFFILIATED CUSTOMIZERS, "What is customization?"
If I skip doing any reed work for a day or two, I get rusty.
If I have lots of reed work to do and it's just not working at that particular moment - like when my fingers won't cooperate with my brain - I make a cup of tea or work on something else and come back to it. You can't force it.
