Tips to fix sharp edges: Use a whetstone , such as one used to sharpen knives. It is much more controllable to work with on reed plate edges and such than a file is. Remove the plates and smooth the edges with 400-600 grade wet-dry sandpaper. This can also be done with plates in place, if attached by tacks. Dry cuts faster, wet smoothes and polishes. Sandpaper's natural pliability assures a smoothly rounded surface since it molds itself over the edges evenly. Disassemble the harmonica, and use super fine 0000 steel wool to go over the edges until they no longer feel sharp. Still something else that works well: Get one of those four-sided manicure blocks for shaping, smoothing, polishing nails. They have four levels of abrasion, and work great on reed plate edges... Rinse before using harp! |
