Harmonicare Chart

This chart is well laid out, easy to understand, and has simple and clear illustrations.I especially like the recommendations on tools you can improvise with so you don't have to spend an arm and a leg on the harmonica tool kits that cost $75+ but only have $20 worth of tools.Just remember, this is for maintenance of your harmonica. It teaches you how to care for your harmonica, not play it.I'd like to add what I consider the best piece of advice for someone looking to buy a harmonica. Make absolutely sure it is new before you put your mouth on it. Especially when you order online. Use gloves to handle it, only touch the ends like a corn on the cob. Under a strong light spin the thing around like a corn on the cob and look everywhere. Look for anything that isn't shiny metal, smooth plastic or wood. Even look at the tiniest cracks and crevices. Shine a light inside, it should be clean like a new car, inside and out. Any dust, dirt, or debris. Any fingerprints (you did wear gloves right?) splotches oily patches, dry patches, dull patches, dotting. All signs of a played harmonica, and some of it is probably dried spit. Please do your due diligence, because you never know who played that thing last if it does turn out used.

Did I not review this already? Well, I think it's fine. The lamination of two simple pages keeps the price up and shipping costs may be more than trivial, but remember you'll keep this forever. Since "blues harp" harmonica technology hasn't appreciably changed in almost a hundred years, these solid tips on cleaning, repairing, and keeping your mouth organ in tune are worth keeping -- or passing on. Recommended.
