Hi my name is Tom Klein
Hi my name is Tom Klein Hesselink and i'm from the Netherlands.
If you would live in the Netherlands, i could do it,
And yes, most customizers only repair they own costom harps only.
But if i most be onnest, customising, i mean embossing, arcing, tuning, ect is more easy then playing the harp.
To set up a out of the box MB for overdraw/overbending/overblow takes about 15 a 20 minutes. With only arcing the reeds.
And embossing and waxing is taking little bit longer.
Greetings, Tom
If they are Hohner harmonicas you can send them to Hohner for repair... see

Most players don't do it for diatonic harmonica... mostly for chromatic harmonicas. I don't know of anyone who repairs stock harmonicas (harmonica customizers only repair harmonicas they customized, which are new harmonicas when they come out of their shop).
