HARMONICA OR MOUTHORGAN MAINTENANCE 2
HARMONICA OR MOUTHORGAN MAINTENANCE 2
Prevention
is far better than the cure.
- Wash the mouthpiece & slide assembly
- Clean out the comb
- Clean every windsaver individually
- Clean & dry the reedplates
Also following this will prevent a sticking slide and continual windsaver troubles; the scurge & bane of the chromatic harmonica musician.
In addition to the above list and related skills, in my opinion, learning how to do the following will enable you to handle most difficulties that arise.
- Windsaver replacement
- Retensioning Slide Spring
- Regapping reeds
- Fine tuning reeds
- Adjusting off center reeds, and deburring
I think the sooner the new owner of a chromatic harmonica becomes familiar with how their instrument is assembled and works, the better they can care for it and also have an extra sense of ownership.
