These are my homemade wooden covers for chromatic harmonica Suzuki Sirius 64. I made them from walnut wood with a Dremel and sandpaper (my first Dremel project). The difference in sound comparing to the original metal covers is surprisingly small. I think the wooden covers sound slightly more bright and full, especially in the low tones.
To make the covers, I ordered a wooden strip (walnut wood) from an internet shop, 12 mm x 36 mm, 400 mm length (I had to shorten it to the length of the original covers). First I made the boreholes, then I formed the inner shape using a Dremel. The outer shape is made using a Dremel and sandpaper. Finally, I sanded the covers and applied a few coats of acrylic clear coat (non-toxic). Leave your comments!
