I have two harmonica with a gap in the left corner of the coverplate.

Air is leaking out and i'm trying to find a way to block the hole.

Do you know a good way to "seal" the coverplate to the reedplate.

Thanks

Cover Plate Gap

Hello Macnoland,
The quick, inexpensive and temporary way will be to apply a small piece--from the inside of the coverplate--3M Micropore medical tape (the stuff the medical profession uses to hold down the IV needles ;o)

The permanent, but more expensive method would be to solder the hole shut. This will require more expertise and materials (www.micromark.com), including:

* Solder-It solder paste
* Rekrow Butane Gas Micro Torch

Let me know how it went ...
