harmonica care maintanance

A soft wood toothpick does a great job of cleaning around the inside of holes (make sure the face of the harmonica is pointed downwards so that particles that come off don't go into the harmonica) and if needed, to lift reeds from the inside when they stick.

I'm often asked what to use to clean the outside of a harmonica. I use Roche-Thomas' Mi-T-Mist. Spray... let sit for a moment... wipe the grunge off. Be careful not to spray inside your harp on a chromatic (you don't want this spray to get on your wind savers). Here's a link: http://www.rochethomas.com/p-159-mi-t-mist-8oz.aspx
