[Harp-L] clogged harps

[Blunt White]

In addition to the previously mentioned ways... note posture so gravity will keep it where it belongs, also avoid cold spaces which will create condensation on the reeds.  Once there is saliva in the harp then 15 seconds with a hair dryer (after tapping it out) will return it unclogged and in normal tuning.  The hair dryer also works to warm up a harp before playing.  Big picture you’re doing well at 2 harps for a session that long in one key.
