Reed-plate is the term for a grouping of several reeds in a single housing. The reeds are usually made of brass, but steel, aluminium and plastic are occasionally used. Individual reeds are usually riveted to the reed-plate, but they may also be welded or screwed in place. Reeds fixed on the inside (within the comb's air chamber) of the reed-plate respond to blowing, while those on the outside respond to suction.
John Popper gave Devyn one of his harmonicas! I am so jealous. He also gave out a few others to audience members.

This GLASS HARMONICA was invented by Benjamin Franklin in 1761. It consists of glass bowls tuned by size, mounted one inside the other with cork on a metal spindle. The glasses are made to spin with a flywheel attached to a foot treadle. Moistened fingers fub the exposed rims of the glasses to produce on of the most beautiful sounds created by man. (From the program notes of a concert by Dean Shostak on March 6th.)
David Barrett held a Master Class in San Jose, California a few years back. Along on stage are Rusty Zinn, Dennis Gruenling, Sonny Jr, Kinya Pollard, Mark Hummel, and Joe Filisko.
The harmonicas are vintage and close-up, show some wear. I love the warm copper color and their sweet little details. :)
