Thanks for the tear down. Looks straight forward and easy.

I did the plates upside down, sounds kinda funny but thanks for the vid! Now my harp is working again :)

@@linkelolo all good experience. Glad my video helped 😸

I love tearing into things too! Always have. I’ve always been very mechanically inclined. I take after my dad that way.

[@allenhawker3911]

Good video! I needed to see that. Especially since I have a rocket coming. I could probably get it apart easier than getting it back together. I could do it but it would take me a bit of time. A magnet tip screwdriver usually helps me in a situation. I’m going to have to do it at some point. I don’t know that I’d trust a friend. I’d be afraid they’d damage it and maybe over tighten the screws etc. Helpful video! Thanks!

It’s safe to use rubbing alcohol?

[@CandidHarper]

Is "rubbing" alcohol the sort of stuff people used to sanitize hands in hospital? That's all I used yes

[@allenhawker3911]

@@CandidHarperGood point. I can’t use it to clean my vape coils so guess in my head I was thinking don’t use it. Lol

[@allenhawker3911]

I watched this again. I could do it. It would just take me a bit longer. Is that just a standard Philips screwdriver or a different type? I’m tempted to take my Blues Harp apart just to see how it goes. Wish I had replacement reeds though.

I used a set like this. The handles have rubber grips,
