I Think I Cleaned it Wrong

Hi Kinya-
I was directed here from another forum; I think I did something to my Hohner Crossover C harp when I used an ultra-sonic cleaner.
I put the comb in with the metal components (mistake1), and I left in in for a ~30 minute cycle (Mistake 2). The end result is that the harp still plays, but doesn't feel nearly as reactive as before or in comparison to my other Crossover harps.
Is this something I can fix, or was this a lesson in caution to take with me when I buy a replacement harp?
Thank you,
-Dave
Hello Dave, bummer to hear about your less than favorable experience. Maintaining the seal between the reed plates and the comb require all surfaces to be FLAT.
You now know the Bamboo comb was not designed for extended exposure to moisture and is now distorted. But rejoice, your timing is impecable. Read the Harp Tech Forum post I just posted!
