Basic tools needed for simple maintenance
As a relative newbie ( and a newly retired guy) I have the time and interesst to take care of the simple basic maintenance things that may come up from my daily practicing on my Special 20s. I did follow your advance for cleaning and got the Micromark Ultrasonic Cleaner and Eurosonic solution. I also got the 2 correct screw drivers necessary to open them up for cleaning in the US device. Are there any other basic tools that might address the simple issues I will bump into as I head down the harmonica road? And what video or DVD tutorials would be good guides when doing some basic matintence? Thanks! :)
