hi
where can i purchase a new slide for mine the knob broke off thanks dave
You can get your parts directly from Hohner USA, right here: http://www.hohnerusa.com/index.php?1625
Looks like a slide is about $30, and shipping is $9.
Good luck!

The strips u r calling valves r actually wind savers. they block the hole when air is going the opp. direction so u dont need as much air to make a tone. stops u from having to blow as hard. hence wind savers. They can b completely gone n wont make a note unplayable or play all the time. u can order a set (comes with extras) directly from Hohner. they may need to b cut to size because the kit is universal. then u just glue them on. or if this is above ur skill level u can send ur chromonica to hohner and they will do it 4 u.
Hi,
I accidentally dropped my super 64 and both the screws holding the mouthpiece broke. Any
idea where to buy them and their size? The hohnerusa price list doesn’t have them. I notice
that all the 4 screws on the super 64 are interchangeable.
Thanks,
Satyajit
That’s unfortunate!
If you want genuine Hohner pieces, I’d go to a music store or call Hohner directly and ask. If you just want it working again, you could try visiting a hardware store. The screws are probably a standard thread size — I can’t imagine that Hohner had a special screw machined just for its harmonicas.
Have found WAHL professional Disinfectant /Cleaner used by hairdressers to clean their clippers etc., good for cleaning bright parts and slides . Spray on ,wipe off using lint free cloth
That sounds like a good idea to me. I’ll have to try it out next time my harmonica needs a cleaning.
