- Converting an existing Lee Oskar body to the key of Ab
- Keeping spares for a harp you play hard and often

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
Major diatonic tuning
Standard harmonica tuning used for blues, rock and folk. Bending is required for notes outside the scale.
Detail 03
Key of Ab
A less common key, often needed for horn-section songs and specific recordings rather than everyday jamming.
Detail 04
Lee Oskar system fit
Machined for Lee Oskar combs. Screw holes and plate outline match that system only.
Detail 05
Sold as a pair
Blow and draw plates together, so one purchase fully retunes or rebuilds the harp.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01A Lee Oskar harmonica body is required — these plates do not play alone
- 02Bring a small screwdriver; the covers and plates are screw-mounted
- 03Ab is an uncommon key, so confirm the song you need actually calls for it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do these come with the harmonica?
No. You get the reed plates only. The comb and cover plates come from a Lee Oskar harmonica you already own.
02Can I change the key of my harmonica with these?
Yes. The reed plates set the key. Install Ab plates in a Lee Oskar body and the harp plays in Ab.
03Will these fit a Hohner or other brand?
No. They are cut for Lee Oskar combs. Plate outlines and screw positions differ between manufacturers.
04What key should I buy if I am unsure?
Match the plates to the key of the songs you play. Ab is specialized; C is the usual starting point for general playing.
