I have a Suzuki Chromatix 64. I lost the little spacers on the screws holding the mouthpiece. Is there a generic product to replace these? 

 

Thank you!!

Hello Will, it appears you

Hello Will, it appears you found replacements.

I have been looking for silicone tubing that can be cut to size ... still looking.

I found silicon tubing online

I found silicon tubing online that worked with my suzuki chromatic as no official replacement was available in the uk without ridiculous import costs.

 

I couldn't find an exact size match for the suzuki ones, but managed to get a 2m length of 2mm ID x 3mm OD tubing on amazon for £10, which is enough to last me until the end of time and works perfectly well. Not sure about other regions, but it seems to be relatively common online.

And isn't it amazing ...

Don't know about finding in the UK. Very sad for folks there that The Harmonica Company in Frome shut down. I finally ordered a packet of 'em from Rockin' Ron's Music. I found it most amazing that no matter what room in the house I was in when I took apart one of my Chromatix ... those spacers fell out in the exact same color as the carpet on my floor!
