QRS Playasax Maintenance
By Allen Scott

Thanks for the response to my request for suggestions about getting
into the Playasax for harmonica repair.  What I seem to understand from
the responses is that the mouth piece and bell are simply held tightly
in place by compression.

However it appears to me that perhaps a small pin is pressed into each
side or perhaps a rod that goes through all the way from one side to
the other.  I seem to see a 1/8" dot on each side with what looks like
plier marks on each.  I see these on all the ones I've seen.

I was wondering if that is what I'm looking at and if the pins, if that
is truly what they are, could be punched out or, if necessary, drilled
out.  Please reassure me that mere pressure can pull these pieces apart.

Thanks,
Allen Scott
