Is it generally safe to clean wood/compsite combed harps like the Suzuki Manji in an ultrasonic cleaner?

Hi Tim,
You should not have any problems dipping your Manji harmonicas in the US tank. I do it all the time ;o)

Hello CRLowery, welcome to

Hello CRLowery, welcome to our universe.

NO! I would not recommend dipping the bamboo comb into the hot tub ;o)

Plastic, plastic/wood composite (e.g. Suzuki), and metal are OK

Your Harpsmith, Kinya
