[Harp-L] Re-dipping your instrument

[David Michelsen <dmharpman@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi Joe
I liked the idea of  dipping' them at home. So first I soaked my 
harmonicas in C_2 H_5 OH & that seemed fine. So I thought being as how I 
play  piano as my second instrument, what I ought to do is

 .  .  .

So The ice truck has been round and made a delivery & now I got a tanker 
in the drive-way and I've moved the Baby Grand into the basement, which 
is now about knee deep in Gin. I cracked a bottle of tonic water into it 
and as Mr Fleming says it should be shaken, not stirred or is it the 
other way round - I think the fumes are getting to me. So suggestions as 
to how I shake it to the tune of 'Stone Fox Chase', which I'm starting 
on my newly soaked C harp ;-)

Diatonics can be soaked, but some of mine have valves. The alcohol doesn't soften the spray I use on the valves because I dip them and shake them out very quickly. (I do that at home). I have never had a throat problem.
