Detail 01
Reed plates only
The metal plates carrying the reeds. No comb, no covers, so this is not playable on its own.

Lee OskarMajor Diatonic Reed Plates - E
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement reed plates in E for Lee Oskar Major Diatonic harmonicas. For owners fixing a dead or flat reed rather than buying a new harp.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Reviving a Lee Oskar Major Diatonic in E with a bad reed
- Players who go through harps fast and want cheaper repairs
- Keeping a spare set on hand for gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone without a Lee Oskar harmonica to fit them to
- Players unwilling to disassemble and reassemble a harmonica
- Buyers looking for a playable harmonica out of the box
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 E
Must match the key of the harp you are rebuilding, or the labeling on the covers will no longer be correct.
Detail 03
Major Diatonic series
Fits Lee Oskar Major Diatonic bodies. Natural Minor, Harmonic Minor and Melody Maker harps use their own plates.
Detail 04
Roughly half the price of a full harmonica
Rebuilding beats replacing as long as the comb and cover plates are still in good shape.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your harp is a Lee Oskar Major Diatonic, not another Lee Oskar tuning
- 02No comb, covers or screws included — reuse the ones from your harp
- 03You will need a small screwdriver and a careful hand to swap them
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit any harmonica?
No. They are made for Lee Oskar Major Diatonic harmonicas. Other brands use different plate dimensions and screw patterns.
02Do I get a playable harmonica?
No. These are the reed plates only. You need an existing Lee Oskar harmonica to mount them on.
03Do these fit a Natural Minor Lee Oskar?
No. Major Diatonic plates are tuned to a major scale. Natural Minor harps take their own matching plates.
04How hard is the swap?
Straightforward with a small screwdriver. Remove the covers, unscrew the old plates, seat the new ones, reassemble evenly so nothing leaks air.
