I have tried 2 ultrasound cleaning machines. A big one, 60 liters, for =
industrial use and another one, smaller, for jewelry, dentists, etc =
(about 3 liters).
It=B4s not worth the effort. Ok, if you have one just beside you, you =
may want to try it. But it doesn=B4t don anything that a simple =
toothrush bath won=B4t do. I am even afraid that it might loosen up some =
rivets or screws (for those of us who fasten their reeds with the small =
ones).
If you are trying to get your harmonica clean without dismantling it, I =
don=B4t see a point in doing that. If the harmonicas are not nailed, =
they are very easy to take apart.
