RE: [Harp-L] Cleaning diatonic reed plates

UNSEALED, wooden combs will swell when in contact with moisture. FYI

The archive search is a good idea. But, you might just pick yourself up
a brand new harp with a plastic comb since cleanliness is important to
you - then, the method of soaking the harp will be a lot less damaging.

Tony Glover used to recommend soaking a harp in vodka though... but that
was when brand new harps cost very little.

Thanks John,
I'll try the baking soda tonight, I've heard that using denture cleaner
can work too. Cheers.
