Q. Slide movement has deteriorated
A.
The slide lever moves around in a very narrow gap. After playing for a while, moisture and residue from your breath builds up
on the slider and makes it sticky, reducing the efficiency of the slide action. To make the slide move freely again, please clean
the mouthpiece and slider as follows.
1. Please prepare a harmonica sterilization cleaner, HAC-01(sold separately), or ethanol and a gauze for disinfecting.
2. Please prepare a small screw driver to unscrew screws on the cover and mouthpiece of harmonica.
3. Remove the screws from both sides of the mouthpiece and dismantle it.

Unscrew both sides. Very tiny screws and silicon tubes are attached. Please be
careful not to lose them.
