Trochilus Slider Spring

Anything apart from the two mainstream default harmonicas (Solo-tuned fully-valved chromatic, and un-valved Richter 10-hole diatonic). Alternate tunings, different construction, new functionality, interesting old designs, wishful-thinking... whatever!

Trochilus Slider Spring

Post by mozharp »

Has anyone had difficulty positioning the trochilus slider spring when reassembling the harmonica? It has a tendency to pull up above the comb and press against the reed plate when I reassemble it, making it noisy. Any tips or tricks?

Thanks!

I figured it out. The nut for the MP screw had slip upwards, causing the MP assembly and slide to shift up, causing the slider spring to rub up against the top of the slit it pokes thru. Pushing the nut back down into position fixed it.

It slides great now.
