1 Draw G harp metal klanking
Here is how it sounds:
I uploaded only pictures of the draw reeds, If you need the blow reeds too tell me... I especially get the metally sound when I do articulation, fast riffs or chords where it sounds horrible. thanks in advance.
Just for fun, swap cover plates with the other harmonica (you will have to hold in place). Let's give it a listen...

I wished it would work but it didn't. it sounded exactly the same. It's a Suzuki Manji by the way and I switched between an A harmonica cover plates to the G harmonica one's. :(
Just to clarify, swap Manji cover plates with a deeper cover plate from another harmonica brand (e.g. Hohner Thunderbird). All Manji cover plates are identical.
Our first priority is to locate the cause of the unwanted noise. We need to eliminate the cover plates as the possible culprit.
Listening to your recordings, I'm not completely convinced that the problem is the reed tapping the inside of the cover plate. Do you hear it "without" the cover plates mounted onto your Manji?

Indeed! the clarification helped. I switched to lee oskar cover plates and the metally sound dissapeared. is there anything I can do to solve it?
Hi CrazyMilk, see my posting to you on "Raise the Ceiling and Stop the Noise".

Another example of a chugging thing you can see how it ruins it :D , I tried it with other harps it doesn't do this weird sound:
