Thank you for a good demo.

thank you very much for such a good demonstration. I'm going to do the same with mine,and hope to be able to do so without loosing any parts.

Hi kabayan, good to hear from you. The super 270 is a very popular harmonica and the wooden combed model such as yours is still being used up to now. If you surf eBay you'll find quite a number being auctioned, some are of pre-war vintage and most of these have cracked combs or rusting reeds plates. Although it can be serviced the 270 is difficult to maintain - nails were used to fasten the reeds plates and it takes quite a skill to remove them, put them back or replace them with screws.

Thank you for sharing this sir, always wondered how it looks on the inside.

i have a chromatic hohner which was given to me by my late german grandfather. my aunt said its still from the 1940's it looks the same as yours but its has a different metal cover and is in a wooden box. by the way i'm half filipino half german. hello lolo! :)

thanks, will look for nails removal video... my Seydel Bandmaster chromatic is nailed like a nightmare. I have reinforced the opposite side's reed plate one area at a time with a scrap hardware nut (using the nut like a short, fat-walled cylinder-anvil so the hole can let the nail head come out while bracing brass carefully around it) while tapping nail point on the other side's reed plate with small hammer. I hate to shock the reeds with this trauma. The nail heads are now raised enough, perhaps, to pry a little, but don't wish to, of course, damage the reed plate

I’m looking for a slide spring replacement Vir do you have picture of one. Mine was my farthers and I remember it was always in the family so must be around 60 years old

Thanks for an informative video. I have an Educator 10 Chromatic that stopped blowing through a couple of holes in December. I followed your instructions (minus the sanitizer device) and now its playing as good as new within 16 minutes of following your directions. Now I'm going to work on a few other old Chromatics that are taking up space in my den.

Could you link the video where you replace the nails with screws?

Uau!!! Good job!!! So, Please, I would very much like you to tell me what is the most practical way to buy reed plates for Hohner super chromonica?

Wow! I have the same exact type of harmonica.

Bob ross effect for sure..watch both parts..relax...this guy is great

The case for your harmonica is beautiful. Where can I get one from?

I like the Super 270, it has a clear, distinct sound and very responsive. The main problem, I think, is the comb, it has a tendency to crack, especially in extreme weather conditions and I've repaired quite a number of these. I usually cure the comb with "salad bowl finish" or butcher block oil but I have no idea how far these cured combs can go. If you are a serious harper the more advance version, the Super 270 De Luxe, is the next best alternative.

The valve flaps, like a piece of paper against a headwind. Meron yan 2nd layer, baka nakanganga na kaya at hindi na mapigilan ang pagpaypay ng lower layer. Ang unang hihip butas ay nasa upper reeds plate kung tintugtog ang silindro sa harap ng audience. Meron takip na puting plastic (or leather) ito yong barbula. Eksamen mo, himasin mo para tumuwid. Kung ayaw na baka dapat palitan na . Nakaka-order sa Hohner, sobra-sobra dami, mga beinte piraso bawat isang butas, marami kang reserba.

you have the "Bob Ross effect" :)

It seemed pretty clean to me at the beginning :-)

i just recieved one of these instruments from my grandmother this morning. i would like to know your oppinion on this harp?

Hi. Where can I find valves for my chromatic harmonica in the USA? I can't find any online store that sells them. Hohner's website ran out of stock for a long time by now.

After How many Days should we clean the Harmonica?? thanks..

I ws about to do the same to my Larry Adler Pro 16, when I discovered that the return spring on the chromatic slide plate was broken. Is it possible to get a replacement?

Great video thanks! Do you know what year these harmonica's were originally manufactured?

@aerosmusiccom I really have no idea.

I want to sale my M.HOHNER the super Chromonica (made in Germany)

yes i saw the nails.. and it makes a rattle noise when i blow the number 1 hole. what's wrong with it? i already cleaned it the way you did. (sarap sana mag tagalog) :D

4:09 it's called a "registration pin". i suppose.

Many Hohners have their parts made in China, but assembled in Germany.

I thought ozone had a negative effect on metal...

germany

Get a CX12, by the time it took you to put everything on the table , you would've had the CX12 apart in literally 3 seconds time with no tools what so ever.

Mă tem că de atata frecus sa nu le subtii de tot

Pilipino??? Awesome ?!

💩💩💩💩😅

This is a demonstration of how to do harm and damage to a hated harmonica. I couldn't stand it. Sorry, highly ugly and unnessesary!

Totally unnecessary and does more harm than good. A complete waste of time and effort. The harmonica was probably cleaner before he started his insane rigmarole.
