Thread Name: Cleaning a Harmonica
Subject: RE: Cleaning a Harmonica
The commonest cause of stinky wooden combs is smoking. If it's a mild, dry night you could consider leaving your harp out in the breeze, which will remove smoky odours. Or put it in your fan oven for an hour or two with just the defrost setting on. If you do the cleaning I suggested in my 10 June post you should rarely have to dismantle any harmonica for cleaning.
