- This video "C02 C02 - Cleaning -- HOHNER Toolkits" shows how to clean a HOHNER Chromatic Harmonica.
The HOHNER SERVICE WORKSHOPS HARMONICA are designed to show you what a quantum leap you can make if you learn to maintain and repair your instrument yourself. Once you've got the hang of it, you will own instruments which are priceless, because they are set up to reflect your requirements as a player.
I just bought a used copy of this very harmonica. What a delight to find this excellent tutorial, first try! Thanks, Hohner!
I like this video to show me how to clean a Harmonica, I am going to buy the MZ99831 to keep my harmonica a good condition.
THX ALOT !!! HOHNER.... Thi video was a great idea!!! Every one should buy an hohner harmonica.
Excellent, absolutely clear tutorial. Very helpful. Thanks. 🙏 🙏 🌹 🌹
I thought this would be a great help to me... until I discovered that the reed plates in the 60 year old Super Chromonica I have are nailed/riveted on, not screwed. I guess there's only so much I can do to clean this one. A nice heirloom, though (and still a good video).
Those are small nails. My old Chromonica has them also. Just carefully pry the reedplate away from the wood comb with a flathead screw driver....CAREFULLY.
Would like to see the cleaning of the normal size harmonica that most people use.
The 10-hole diatonic type favored by most blues and rock musicians. Yes, I would love to know how to safely disinfect a vintage Marine Band or Special 20 harmonica.
If the wood isn’t sealed, you can’t sanitize a vintage harp. If the harp has an ABS or sealed comb, just take it apart, remove any build up, and dunk it in isopropyl.
You mean a diatonic harmonica as opposed to the Chromatic one with the slide button you see in the video
The slide lubricant usage was not shown unfortunately
Can you please do a much needed video on Melodica cleaning/maintenance? I understand why you used brand new harmonica for the demo (visual aesthetics), but an instrument in need of cleaning would have been more realistic-they can get very gunky, Brush your teeth or rinse before playing-•
Thank you for sharing now i know haow how to clean my harmonica..
Very thorough. Thankyou
this guys voice is like the perfect narrating voice haha
Yes, Steve Baker is not just a great narrator, but also a fantastic harmonica player. It was a big joy to make these videos with him
The David Edinburgh of instruments.

Hell, you’re serious about this…;)
I like his talking style.
+AMAN RAZU You will like his playing style as well. He is a great player
Excelent tutorial
My grandmother has a Hohner Super Chromonica that she got when she was 15 as a birthday present. It no longer plays because it is so dirty... is there a service/restoration center close to Chicago area or where else could I get this restored? It's one of her most prized possesions and i'm nervous to ship it somewhere far away and it get lost.
When unscrewing and screwing the reed plates watch out you don't slip and bend a reed out of its position
Very good video sir
Looking forward to service my Horner harmonica❤
Horner ?? 🤦🤔😂
How do you clean a 16 hole Echo M.Hohner that is nailed together on the sides?
The one my grandfather gave me as a kid is rusty, needless to say I didn't take care of it then, and I would like to restore it.
I have one that's intact and in good shape. Will sell it as original. Let me know your interest. w.s.
Can I use Isopropyl Alcohol instead of the mouthpiece cleanser?
Thank you, very helpful.
I've just bought an old 57/120 large Hohner Echo Harp, I want to completely strip it down to clean inside, how should I go about this?, especially as the top and bottom covers are fixed in place by pins, thanks in advance.
I was wondering how tight should I screw the two holes that hold the plates of my harmonica together? Should I tighten the screws all the way until they can't turn anymore? Or if I should leave them a bit loose? Please help
I have an old late 40s echo double sided
With wood combs I think it's pinned not skrews
How do I sanitize it as it is 2nd hand thanks
Hi, how often should I be cleaning the harmonica using the following technique? What are the suggested "routine-like" cleaning process that would be helpful for maintaingin the harmonica clean?
Does this work for my fathers M. Hohner : "The Chromonica" from WW2?
I live in Germany. Does anyone know how much this cleaning would cost if I brought my chromatic harmonica directly to Hohner?
Have just bought a new double sided Echo tremolo 96 which has reed plates nailed to a wooden comb. Mr Hohner, kindly let me know how to clean it.
what can i do about the rattle at lowest (deepest) holes? is it always because of lose wind-savers? they don't seem to be lose! what else might be causing the vibrato- rattle on lowest (deepest) holes? how do i unblock the hole in the middle of the harmonica that sounds like it is blocked (plays "reluctantly").... i don't know what is blocking it but i presume it is saliva or something like that...what is the best way to unblock it?
What cleaning soultion are you useing to clean with
How do I clean my "the up to date" very est tremolo concert harp finest hammered reads . # 46 1/2?
Is it applicable for all types of harmonica?
If a unexperienced person wants to clean, it is preferred to make it clean by himself only or by a music instrument expert?
Please comment!
You can use this on all harmonicas, really. If you're a novice to cleaning harmonicas, have a pro help (or watch any number of videos about here on youtube.)
is it the same if the harmonica has wood in it?
Maybe show how to clean the instrument normal people play.
Uau!!! Good job!!! So, Please, I would very much like you to tell me what is the most practical way to buy reed plates for Hohner super chromonica?
If you are a heart surgeon, don't think you can operate on harmonica. Please don't ever decide to operate on harmonica because you will kill him. And you have to buy a new harmonica.😢
thank you very much! then why is this video misleading? :( How can I disinfect it without taking it apart, friend??
Good vid except better close-ups would help, plus would rather watch her w/ the Chromonica than watch him talking just saying guys. Cheers
هیچ وقت ساز را باز نکنید ،زیرا گند خواهید زد به ساز
The women is silently cleaning while the man explains... nice job... 🤔
請問有繁體中文解說嗎?
I have a Suzuki Manji Harmonica and I would like to have a kind of disinfecting cleaner, but I had read that some of them can damage the wood... which fluid cleaner do you recommend to use for my Harmonica
Thanks...
Giordano Fronte Hey. The Suzuki Manji has a composite comb made of wood resin and plastic. You can simply use water and soap or 91% ethynol alcohol for cleaning. The alcohol might take off the painted key marker and Suzuki label, though so be careful if that matters to you.
Can I use iso-propyl alcohol?
Why so serious
i've done as hereby advised and i can't reassemble it now, it sounds all wrong, the slide has no resistance, i did not see slide spring, i've no idea where is it supposed to be…etc, etc….by the way: my IQ is extremely high, but this freaks me out…..can't focus on it, don't know where did I go wrong with it….i can experiment with slide and those two pieces that go around it 'till it sounds right (i suppose i have put it back the wrong way) but where is the slide spring? i did not see it, i never saw it, i have dismantled this thing on a very small balcony, and i could not possible lose this slide spring, whatever was in this harmonica must be somewhere on this very small balcony….but where is it? where was this slide spring supposed to be? i did not take out the reed plates, i couldn't if i want, i have the old model, i dont see all those screws that are here on this newer model, i dont know how could i unscrew the reed plates, this thing is making me mad….what shall i do with it now? anyone in london? can you take a look at this thing for me?
You need to be a harmonica surgeon to perform harmonica surgery.
It is a meticulous talent that takes in-depth study, research and practice.
Cheers!
