"RE: cleaning harmonicas" In response to message #0   This is one of the reasons I don't recommend wood comb harmonicas, especially the Marine Band. They are not easy to maintain.

That is, I imagine that it would be ultimately best to keep it in its box. But if I keep it on top of my desk for easy access, play it and wipe it clean every day, and the weather is not too humid nor too dry, does it matter much if I don't keep it in the box?   Printer-friendly page | Top

I always put my harmonicas back in the box for this reason, but it's not a big deal either way. You just might need to clean it a bit more frequently if there is a lot of dust around when it's not put away. Play on, Dave Gage   Printer-friendly page | Top
