Lee OskarMajor Diatonic Reed Plates - A
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement reed plates for a Lee Oskar Major Diatonic in A. For owners rebuilding a worn harp instead of buying a whole new one.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Reviving an A Major Diatonic with dead or flat reeds
- Blues players who wear out A harps from heavy playing
- Carrying spare plates for the most-used key on a gig
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone without a Lee Oskar harp to install them in
- Players unwilling to disassemble and reassemble a harmonica
- Anyone needing a key other than A
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Key of A
Plays A in first position, E in second position — the workhorse key for blues in E.
Detail 03
Major Diatonic tuning
Standard Richter layout. Won't work in a Natural Minor or other Lee Oskar tuned body.
Detail 04
Replaceable-plate design
The harp is meant to come apart, so a rebuild is routine maintenance rather than a repair job.
Detail 05
$28.99 per set
Cheaper than a complete harmonica, which is why players in heavy rotation keys stock plates.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Verify your harp is a Lee Oskar Major Diatonic before ordering plates
- 02Comb, covers and hardware are not included — reuse your existing ones
- 03A small screwdriver is needed; snug the screws evenly or the harp will leak
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which key is A best for?
An A harmonica plays E in second position, the most common cross-harp key in blues and rock. First position gives you A.
02Can I put these in a different brand's harmonica?
No. The plates are cut for Lee Oskar combs. Other brands differ in screw placement and plate shape, so they won't seal.
03Does this include the comb?
No. You get the reed plates only. The comb and cover plates stay from your original harmonica.
04How hard is the swap?
It's a screwdriver job — remove covers, unscrew the old plates, fit the new ones, tighten evenly. Uneven screws cause air leaks.
