"I purchased a Super 64 from an online music store that arrived with  a
significant amount of what appears to be dried spit in the holes.  A  polish
or wax might have been used in manufacturing that accumulated in  there,
although I doubt it. Has anyone else experienced this?"
 
...No way!!! For what they cost, back to the store it  goes!  First a phone 
call of complaint...tell them what you just told  us.  A Super 64's mouthpiece 
should be pristine out of the box.  There  is no polish or wax used on the 
silverplate mouthpiece.  I got mine from  Musician's Friend and the only 
complaint I had is that they shipped 3 harmonicas  together in one box with no 
wrapping/padding in between, so they bounced off  each other, breaking one box, the 
hinge on another and chipping a sliver  out of an Echo mouthpiece.  But they 
were beautifully clean at least.   Looks like they shipped you a returned harp 
without so much as checking it  over.  Ugh!
