The Harmo tool consists of 12 tools attached to a utility handle that makes it a breeze to carry around. You can also very easily unscrew the tool and use the tools freely. Here is the list of tools and their original intended purpose 1 – Philips hex screwdriver: Compatible with almost all the harmonica models on the market, that’s the type we mainly use for Harmo harmonicas such as the Polar, Torpedo, Custom models inside and outside screws. Even though reed-plate screws are typically smaller this screwdriver will work with both cover and reed-plate screws. 2 – flat head screwdriver: Great for any flat type screw as found in many classic German harmonica models and chromatic harmonicas. 3- File: Mostly used to re-tune reeds. File the top of the reed to make the pitch higher file the bottom to make it go lower. If your 5 draw is too low, file the top towards the tip until it reaches the desired pitch. 4 – Embossing and File tool: The side of this tool is sharp. This file can be used to emboss the tip or sides of the reed slot but can also be used to re-tune a reed as the other file provided does. They both offer a different angle so you would use this one or the other depending on your needs. 5 – Reed wrench Nb 3: Compatible with Hohner 6 – Reed wrench Nb 2 : Compatible with Suzuki and Tombo 7– Reed wrench Nb 3: Compatible with the oldest Seydel and Harmo reeds The reed wrench tool is used when you need to re-center a reed 8 – The slim tip with a round spot type of tool is what we use to apply wax. It can also be used to work on the reed. 9 : Thick shim. We typically use these to support a reed when retuning to protect the other reeds 10 and 11: Light Shim. These can be useful to reopen a space between the reed and the reed-plate. 12 – Tip tool: Used to manipulate the reed in various ways mostly to adjust gaps
