RE: Subject: Re: [Harp-L] Echo Vamper



Thank you to all for advice on removing the corrosion spots from the covers. The clincher was G affirming that the covers are solid metal, not plated. I've succeeded in not only making the harp comfortable in the mouth but also not looking too bad at all - in the end I used a fine brass wire brush that came with my rotary drill, proceeding very gingerly for about ten minutes per plate. This removed the roughness without dulling the metal surface. Result - one brilliant harp on which I can play melodies an octave lower than on the regular C 10-hole.
