is it feasible to convert this box from c c# to bc  by exchanging the reed beds with new ones tuned to bc  from  hohner cshop?  if so would you change the chord bass reeds  ?  are there any common bass chord notes  between the two tunings ?

the c row will be more or less the same on both

True George, but the outer row block won't fit where the inner one goes.

why not buy a complete B/C reedset including the appropriate bass/chord reeds, all mounted on blocks?
- only two of the four bass/chord pairs in your existing set are immediately suitable...even one pair of these will need relocating on the blocks. this route also means you have two complete tunings available for your erica.
 
there is another issue to consider,... that is whether or not your erica has an internal gasket? if not, then new reeds/blocks will need a gasket fitting to the underside. the grill on ericas usually gives the game away on this, but no pic so can't say.

I am not an expert but I have converted a few box using new treble and bass reed block from Hohner and worked out OK for me..why not get the whole bass and treble blocks?
