Fits the following harps:
Marine Band Deluxe, Marine Band Crossover and Thunderbird. Also suits Marine Band 1896 harmonicas if you want to change the nails to screws. This includes:
- Marine Band 1896 (1950s to current *).
- Pre-war Marine Bands, including "mouse ear".
- Pre-MS Blues Harps
- Wooden-combed Old Standy.
- Pre-MS Meisterklasse
(*) Marine Band 1896 harmonicas manufactured around the end of the 1980s and beginning of 1990s had a slightly different nail hole pattern and you can chose to only use two screws to hold the plates to the comb or to do a little extra work to create a third hole in the plate. These harps offer much less potential than Hohner harmonicas made before or after this period. I suggest you lower your expectations when trying to upgrade these instruments. Please see this page [1] for more details.
It has chamfered tips. An innovative design allows this comb to be used on any model 10-hole Marine Band harmonica.
Here's a video showing the process of converting a Marine Band 1896 harmonica from nails to screws and installing one of my combs:
More information and instructions for installing my combs are found on the Combs page [2].
I also offer conversion kits [3] to change Marine Band 1896 from nails to stainless steel screws:
