Table of reedplate dimensions?
Table of reedplate dimensions?
Can anyone share a table showing, for various makers (e.g. Hohner, Suzuki, LO, Seydel) and notable models (e.g. Manji, MB, Big Six) with each model's reed plate dimensions (e.g. plate L, W, o.c. reed slot pacings, reed slot widths)?

Re: Table of reedplate dimensions?
Interesting question. I could measure a few reedplates I have at home and post here when I have the time. Would be interesting to see which are interchangable.
Cheers, Karl

Re: Table of reedplate dimensions? *REVISED*
OK, I measured a few harps at home, and here are the results.
I included photos of the disassembled harps on top of a millimeter grid paper (mm hardly visible, cm clearly visible). Could be useful for finding placements of screwholes, cut-outs, rounded corners, or whatever.
This is just a test and an example of a presentation. I realize I should have been more consistent in showing all reedplates and combs from the same side and orientation, to actually see how the screw holes match, or any other pecularities. There are other quality imperfections also, such as brightness, contrast, lining up with the grid...
If anyone find it at all useful I might come up with better presentations later. Other contributions welcome.
First easy to read image, then tabbed text results:

Re: Table of reedplate dimensions?
Looks quite helpful, if someone is in need for spareparts to any odd old or exotic model not longer available, as well as for some tuning jobs.
Thank you.

Re: Table of reedplate dimensions?
This idea looks really helpful but I think that it is possible to make it better
I hope that this year I will win the vuelta races because this is my biggest dream and the best result for my sport career
