A towel works as a cover, and take heed to what mercurysoto says about taking those monitors apart. I just took apart one of my harmonicas yesterday to give it a thorough cleaning and I put it together all wrong. Now the draw notes are blow notes and I cannot bend any of the notes now whatsoever. LOL. I can go back to fix my stupidity, but monitors are another animal all together.

Instead of using rubbing alcohol as a cleaning agent I found what works better is vinegar and a little water. I was experiencing the alcohol leaving too much deposites and stripping away finishes off of some surfaces. I am too much of a doofus to take apart my keyboard and just know that I will reenact my harmonica debacle so I just dust it with my vinegar and water mix and turn it upside down and shake out the funk. It works for me. Shake your funky thang!

 

... shaking it right now.

 

OT, sry guys: @SineWave sry if u dislike earlier descript. j/k. But I rly hope u read the thing (as should everyone) about toxoplasmosis. I mean, the wiki page only covers about half of it! Kinda OMG!

 

Ok. Not a pet owner here but as wiki says, half of the human race is infected of that and has almost no symptoms.Why should i be afraid of it?

 

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a joke.. or wot...

​

I usually only dust my monitors off, so this is food for consideration

thanks Superliquid.. after perusing your cautionary tale.. I shall refrain from ever taking apart my harmonica now..
perhaps I will consult with you at a future date if you confirm success !

 

swiffer dusters...google it. Apply once or twice a week

 

Alas, my monitors are constantly befouled by running my own music through them, so I'm not one to comment.

 

Can cause srs joint pain (not good for producers )= schizophrenia and cysts in ur brain. Linked 2 issues w/ neuro development in children / teens. Also high risk of miscarriage and severe neurological disease, if infected during pregnancy. It alters behavior in the host; apprently the "crazy cat lady" collector thing is because of toxiplasmosis, which is @ about 22% rate (estimated) in the USA. But those kittens look sooooo cute! I guess that explains why it's so widespread!

 

Actually, it's a really great idea to take apart your harmonica and clean it up from time to time. I only took off the covers of my great Seydel Noble knowing full well that if I did anymore that I would mess it up completely like I did with the Blues Harp. I play the Seydel at least an hour a day while out and about with Marley the little pooch we have as well as an hour or so when I give a weekly lesson. It was fairly funky and even with not cleaning the comb and reed plates on the inside, the harp sounds more powerful and robust. I have a huge problem visualizing 3 dimensional things after an abdominal surgery 20 years ago. I cannot figure out for example how to set up a patch bay and a Rubics Cube which pre-anesthesia was a piece of cake is more like trying to climb Mt. Everest in a flip-flops. I am sure you would have no problem doing a thorough cleaning. I am a bit hindered but have full confidence in your ability to conquer where I have failed to do so.

 

oh.now i get it.They are evil!!!!
Anyway thanx for the info.Not a fan of cats so i believe i'm safe at the moment

 

Some my monitors are so old and dirt crusted im afraid if i clean em might change the sound

 

It's simple. When it's dirty you throw it and you buy a new one well clean.

 

Why would I need to clean the inside of my monitors? I do however blow dust off of the woofers and tweeters from time to time though. Ponderous this one is, a mystery waiting to be uncovered.
