:         (Recent post mentioned that a leaky harp with a wooden
:          comb can be temporarily fixed by soaking. The saturated
:          comb expands, sealing leaks.  However, it apparently
:          warps badly on drying.)

Another killer of soaking a harp is wood rot or dry rot. This usually occurs
around the nail holes and other spots moisture is permanently trapped.
