Hey David,

 

I've noticed that when I practice late at night, especially if I've had a salty meal, my mouth is dry and it's hard to play.

What's your take on using mouth moisterizers like these:

I suspect that even the sugar-free ones might leave a sticky residue in the harp.

What say you? 

 

Thank you!

Hello DrSpoons. I don't, nor do any of my students, have any experience with mouth moisturizers. Give it a try and report back.
