Hi David, I saw a video on a diatonic harmonica cleaning machine and can’t remember where it was n how to get one.  I want it for cleaning Marine Band harps.  Can you help me out?

Ultrasonic?

You might try asking on the Harp Tech Kinya Pollard forum - he's the whiz around here for these kinds of questions.

That said, you may be thinking of an ultrasonic cleaner. Problem is, these usually involve immersing the object to be cleaned (such as a harmonica) in liquid - not something you want to do to a wood-combed Marine Band.

Some background on ultrasonic cleaning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_cleaning
