[Harp-L] Re: That Time of Year Again...

["H.T." <imanonimous@xxxxxxx>]

Deb,

I use a Blistex product called "Complete Moisture". It's a stick, the  
tube is solid blue with white lettering. Somewhat hard to find, but  
worth it if you do. It's very light and doesn't leave gunk on the harp.

I love the ChopSaver tag "Musician's with Lips".  I guess they'll even  
sell it to guitar players.  No idea if it's any good though.

Good luck,
Harry
