Instead of throwing a Soul's Voice away after it has run its course, why not just replace the reed plates? It's easy - We are one of only two harmonica companies to supply replacement reed plate sets that come already mounted on the comb; so all you need to do is to put your old cover plates on.  When other companies sell just the plates without mounting them on the combs, there is no way they could properly gap the reeds and fully test them for optimum performance.  The plates/comb only cost $18.50, as opposed to the whole harmonica which costs $28.50. If $18.50 is still too much, you can order just the draw plate for only $10.50 and just the blow plate for only $8.50. Bushman is the only harmonica company in the world to offer the money saving option of replacing just the Draw or Blow Plate individually.
