Yes, the reeds are replaceable. The screwed-on reed plates make disassembly and reassembly relatively straightforward, though some experience is helpful.
While plastic combs *can* warp over time with excessive moisture, Hohner’s plastic is durable; proper care and drying after playing minimizes this risk.
