Replacement reed plates for the Lee Oskar Harmonic Minor harmonica, sold individually in all 13 keys. Yellow Label.
Every harp has a lifespan in its reeds, not its body. When yours starts playing flat or answering slowly, the instrument isn’t finished — the plates are. Replaceable reed plates in every key are an exclusive Lee Oskar feature, and swapping them restores a worn Harmonic Minor for about half the price of a new one.
The job takes three screws and two nuts/bolts and needs no specialty tools.
The comb and covers you’ve spent years playing carry straight over, so nothing about the harp’s feel changes — only the reeds.
Lo Em, Gm, Abm, Am, Bbm, Bm, Cm, Dbm, Dm, Ebm, Em, Fm, F#m

Any harmonica in the Lee Oskar Harmonica System. Combs and cover plates are shared across the whole range, so these plates fit the body of a Major Diatonic, Melody Maker, or Natural Minor just as readily as an existing Harmonic Minor. Fitting Harmonic Minor plates makes that harp a Harmonic Minor.
No. Plates are sold by key, so you can rebuild in the same key or move an existing harp body to a different one.
About half the cost of buying a complete new harmonica.
A reed that plays flat, responds slowly, or won’t sound at normal breath pressure is worn and needs a new plate. A note that buzzes or sticks intermittently is more often debris in the comb or a misaligned reed, and cleaning may fix it.
They share minor key names but are tuned differently and suit different music. The Harmonic Minor is typically played in 1st Position for Eastern European, Gypsy, Yiddish, Asian, Tango, and Reggae styles. The Natural Minor is played in 2nd Position for Minor Blues, Reggae, Ska, Latin, Funk, R&B, and Hip Hop. Because plates are interchangeable, you can fit either set to the same harp body — just order by the tuning you want, not the one you currently own.
