There are 8 holes and only 5 screws on Golden Melody reed plate (new version). Is there supposed to be 8 or just 5?

Ask Hohner.

@dblues Welcome to the forum my friend! Yes, I’ve seen that before, and I checked in with my customizer Joe Spiers, and he says the ones he’s worked on have all been like that as well.

I’m gonna send an email to Jimmy Zednik and see if he has any insight into it…

I talked to Ron @ Rockin Ron’s and he told me the same. 5 plate screws is what Hohner uses on these.
