It is possible to overblow on a Lee Oskar without nail polish or other
additive, though doing it consistently requires a lot of modification to
make the harp more airtight. I did a couple of videos for YouTube on
this subject -- please forgive my excessive hair, as it was over a year
ago. And the commenters seem to think I talk way too much.

Those reed plates aren't dirty -- the discoloration can't be removed by
any technique I have tried. It is my oldest harp, and I don't actively
play it anymore. With all those caveats... I hope you find the videos
useful.
