[Harp-L] Metal interactions

[Chris Bates <cchrisbates@xxxxxxxxx>]

Follow this link to a better idea, but brass and
bronze both react with aluminium.

If the aluminum is oxidized, any reaction is reduced.
On the flip side, moisture, like in your mouth, can
increase the reaction.
Coating the metals can prevent reaction as well. Just
depends on how the harp in constructed.
Get the info from the manufacturer of whatever harp
you want before you buy.
