- Hering Tool Set

A very compact and recommendable Toolset for the first steps into the maintenance of harmonicas.

For tuning works, there is a file inserted and a scraper, however we still recommend our>>>Harponline Toolset 2 Tuning because you will need an additional >>>tuner for proper adjustment of the pitch. Those of you that want to exchange harmonica reeds still buy better our >>>Toolset Basic which enables all the basic mainenance work too.
- Holder for Reamer - nickel-plated
Included in the Chmel System Toolset. (presented here individually)For reamers with no inbuilt holders. It's more comfortable to use individual holders for your reamers, the continuous swapping of different reamers can become annoying.
- Holder for Screwdriver -empty-
To get this item here without problems should only be possible at Harponline. It is not part of the official Wiha distribution line. However, it is perfect while dismantling a harmonica, because the smaller parts can be stored in the deposit in front. Who wants to put his personal addition set together can order the holder as a single item here.
- LeeOskar Toolkit
Original LeeOskar ToolsVery handsome toolset, designed for the maintenance of LeeOskar harmonicas.

In addition, you'll find a small booklet containing the compact information for the beginner. It's written in English, by the way.

Even a replacement battery is added.
- Peterson Strobosoft 2.0 DeLuxe Suite
High End Tuner Software
You'll need to have worked a bit on tuning in general before you
understand that the 12 notes of an octave are not as strictly regulated as you might think. In common with most instruments, the harmonica does not sound
good when tuned to 12 accurately, equally tempered notes and in order to detect these tiny differences, of maybe + or - 1 Cent (and less), one should possess a reliable tool that will do the job properly.
This software on your PC is that tool, the most accurate tuner in its class.

- Peterson VS-F Strobo Flip Virtual Strobe Tuner
High End TunerVirtual Strobe
You'll need to have worked a bit on tuning in general before you
understand that: (a) the pitch of a harmonica should be very accurate,
and (b) that the notes within an octave, tuned simply to equal steps (as
with an ordinary tuner), is not always an advantage in a Diatonic harmonica.
You should be able to recognise exactly when the pitch of an instrument is correct and the 12 notes of an octave are not as strictly regulated as you might think. In common with most instruments, the harmonica does not sound
good when tuned to 12 accurately, equally tempered notes and in order to detect these tiny differences, of maybe + or - 1 Cent (and less), one should possess a reliable tool that will do the job properly.
This tuner is that tool, the most accurate tuner in its class.

- Regapping Tool Wiha Pico Finish Line
- Rivet Head Former
Included in the Chmel System Toolset. (presented here individually)For players who need to punch out rivets but do not want to buy a seperate riveting tool, you will need this support.
- Rivet-head maker - D 1.5
Those of you who wish to re-rivet your own reeds can do so using this Tool. It is not necessarily recommended by us, but some tuners swear by it. For example, Rupert Oysler explains this technology extensively on his teaching video, which can also be purchased through harponline.

So we can say, that using this small tool, Seydels' new cover-screws work realtively well. I can also tell that it works very well with Suzukis' cover-screws too and you won't find that in any factory information sheet! Best. -Nr. »200/005 PH00 40 2,0 134 9

Without this tiny Screwdriver you will never be able to unlock the even tinier Hering Reedplate Screws behind the mouthpiece of the Chroms.

- Tuning file, 100mm - 2
Harponline Service Systemincluded in the >>>Toolset BasicUsing the file for tuning harmonicas is not our most recommended method for beginners, because you can easily damage the reed and make scratches that let the reed break earlier. Our recommended tool is the >>>Abrasive Tool with Diamond TipHowever, there are a lot of useful things you can do with it anyways, for example removing the heads of reeds before removing rivets with our >>>Harponline de-riveting tool or some other tricks.
- Tuning Fork
What do you do with a tuning fork?
Well, you could adjust your software tuner with it, because they can be inaccurate sometimes, depending on your hardware.
However, what is much more interesting, is the ball (or bulb) on the handle.
This is a wonderful tool used for narrowing the tolerances between slot and reed, called 'Embossing'. Indispensable for anybody playing Overblows
