Take it apart first – wooden parts do not withstand it and the reeds are delicate.
How to do it
- Time
- 3 min
- Water
- Lukewarm, 30–40 °C
Only a plastic comb and detached reed plates. Dry completely before reassembly.
With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.
Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.
Why
Harmonicas have thin brass reeds and often a comb of wood or plastic. Wood swells in water, and the reeds can be affected. There is no manufacturer source.
Watch out for
- Wood: avoid
- Dry the reeds completely
