Anybody know a good place that I can find decent rounded coverplates for a MB Deluxe/Crossover? Similar to the Seydel 1847 coverplates. Either open or closed side vents. Can't stand the sharp corners on MB even when I file them down myself.

Blues Harp or Special 20 cover plates might fit?

The Blues Harp or Special 20 cover plates, which seem more rounded, might fit? I don'r have the crossover handy to check, but I've had the same problem with several harps. The suzukis are much more rounded, and with the plastic comb, much more comfortable overall than the wood bodied Hohners, I'm finding. Their Bluesmaster and Promaster models have the coverplate that goes all the way to the end of the harp. Hopefully that won't get me kicked off the forum... I do really like the Special 20 I have, however, and just ordered another...
