I disassemble my harps (Lee Oskar) and clean them with rubbing alcohal and a Q-tip - careful not to leave any Qtip matter caught in the reads. I purchased a tuning kit for my harps (files etc) - its great for fixing bent or out of tune reeds. Although my Lee Oskars are pretty airtight - I tape the plastic combs with Macrophore (medical)tape. I cut around the reed cavities and reassemble the harp - this provides an extremely airtight seal and allows you to really wail - you can play with more technique at lower volumes also.....
