I have a Hohner Golden Melody, key of C, which is a great harmonica. I took it apart as one of the holes was plugged up, and I have not re-assembled it correctly. It looks o.k. but will only play on the draw notes. Could you send me a diagram so I can see where I've gone wrong? I fooled with this issue about an hour and can't seem to rectify it. Thanks,
Don

Here is what Hohner says:http://www.hohnerusa.com/index.php?1615 This site is for chromatic harmonicas but the advice applies to all models:http://www.angelfire.com/music/HarpOn/maintclean.html
These harminicas are warranteed and rarely have problems. Either return it to the place of purchase for an exchange or contact Hohner directly. My experience with this company is that they are eager to make things right.
You can take it apart by removing the two screws, see if any of the reels seem blocked or obstructed by dirt, bits of dust, oxydation (greenish crystalline stuff) or similar, try to remove the stuff that seems to obstruct the reel with a medium hardness paintbrush (you might want to use some alcohol), but be very careful not to permanently bend or otherwise damage the reels, it will ruin the sound of the harmonica.
