Reply To: Vintage Hohner Melodica Professional restoration — need a reed

Hello Clep, what I have done is the soap and water method. With an eye dropper and some liquid soap and water, place a few drops, enough to wet the pads fully, blow with out pressing a key and see if you can see any bubbles around the area you wet with soapy water. If so mark and repeat until you identify all the leaks in the pad. You can do the same technique with the main gasket. If you have a hose that you can adapt to the mouth piece hole its a little easier to see.
Hope this helps you
