FWIW,
I'm not a diatonic player so I'm not familiar with the different models names, prices etc., but looking at Hohner's parts price list it looks like it's $50.00 for the complete reed-plate...it seem's like they've got the price of replacement reed-plates at approx. half the cost of buying a new harp??
I bought a whole bunch of screws, valves etc., for 280's about a year ago and they certainly charge a premium, but I found the customer-service real good (they threw in extras of just about everything!!) Since then I have found alternate sources for screws etc., and I make my own windsavers.
