[Harp-L] Soaking Harmonicas

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

Once upon a time in 1978-1979 i was playing Marine Bands.  Soaking  
them in water improved their compression considerably.  Then I  
discovered Special 20s which were a whole lot more comfortable to  
play (and no, I didn't soak them. Since they had plastic combs,  
soaking wouldn't do any good.).  Soaking the MBs made the combs swell  
pretty quickly, which was uncomfortable, but it certainly made the  
MBs much easier to play.
