Ich reinige keine Suzuki und meine Symphony mit einer Fühlerlehre, indem ich auch ein dünnen Stück Reinigungstuch darüber stülpe. Deine Idee ist richtig gut. Viel Grüße und gutes Video.👌 Manux
Mauny. This is an incredible video. Your delivery is mesmerizing. Please do a video on how to brush your teeth. I would totally watch it. Am futzing with a sitcky reed in a suzuki SCX-64, and am making and assembling tools as I watch. One thing, when telling how much of a reed to clean with your plastic/cloth thin cleaner, you say no more than 70% so you don't bend the reed up. On the particular reed that you showed, yes it was about 70%, but it's really a fixed number, like say no closer than 10mm to the root (attachment point) of the reed.
Yes, the reeds must maintain their gap, so no force should be used if going underneath them. Try avoiding unless it’s completely stuck due to debris. In that case, I carefully use a razor blade, but only if I spot something. It’s usually a small food particle…
Thanks for the tip. Some people suggest giving the harmonica a bath or running water over it, cover and all. Seydel, manufacturer of my Symphony 48, warns against this method. Your method is a good compromise. So far, I've only had problems with sticky valves on blow notes. I use a strip from a coffee filter which I dunk in water. So far so good. I might try your method too. How often do you have to take your instruments apart and clean them?
