Re: [Harp-L] Cleaning the chromatic



I just take break mine up, clean off residue with some water and a
soft cloth going through and wiping out the mouth piece hole by hole
and carefully doing the reed plates, then if there is any junk stuck
in a reed I take something like a small screwdriver and pick it out.
