    Custom reedwork includes:
    Reed plates are straightened, draw plate sanded.
    All reeds accurately centered so the reeds swing straight in the slots.
    All reed slots embossed to closer tolerances.
    All reeds properly shaped for best response.

    **Unique to this harmonica is the addition of "Marine Band 1896" Cover plates for the traditional Special 20 covers* (these can be restored upon request).  The Marine Band covers lend a slightly brighter and more open tone to the harmonica with a more open back and side vents.
