Hi Kinya,

I just started playing a (expensive) chromatic and am cautious about regular care of the instrument.  Should I tap this harp on my palm/leg routinely to clear moisture like I would with a diatonic?

Also, can I use the alcohol based mouthpiece cleaner spray like you have recommended for the diatonic?

Thanks,

Julian

Hello Julian, congratulations

Hello Julian, congratulations on your new purchase! Don't forget to brush your teeth or gargle before playing.

Yes, you can safely spank the mouthpiece on the heals of your palm or thigh. After playing, I routinely spritz the mouthpiece with Roche'-Thomas Mi-T-Mist Mouthpiece Cleanser with no issues.

Your HARPSMITH, Kinya
