[Harp-L] Painful Practice

[todd allen <soundguyaudition@xxxxxxxxx>]

Has any one tried to seal the tiny slits on any standard Top cover plate like 
marine bandÂand Sp20's (other then Golden Melody of coarse)ÂI've been 
practicingÂtongue blocking and tend to push more of the harp into my mouth. My 
mustache hair gets ripped out where the metal folds down on the face and ends on 
many standard harp. 

It does it a bitÂless whenÂIÂuseÂpucker methodÂ(except for theÂLee Oskarâs which 
are the absolute worst. I'm getting to the point were I just want to sell them.)
Â
I thought maybe the thicker type of crazy glue applied to the inside crease? 
There is no way I can be the only harp player with a mustache Âthat has this 
problem.
I've grown pretty found of it over the past 25 years so shaving it off isnât 
really an option for me. 

Â
Found a lot of neat tricks here so just looking for some ideas before I try 
glue.ÂÂ
not really into the gummy rubber cover thingy'sÂ
