[:babaKatt:] Fanged Menace :ironFront::enbyCrossbow::sparkles2:(🧵 cont.)So when I posted this I was already done with the cleanup, but I'm terrible at posting :pikaAngryCry: When you're trying to remove oxides and other blemishes on metal, preferably you want a solution that attacks everything but the base metal. Before I've used a concentrated solution of <code>vinegar</code>, <code>salt</code> and <code>flour</code> to create a paste that do indeed remove oxides and other ickyness. However it's not been ideal in that leaving an object too long in it causes acid damage, and it's much less controllable due to the amount of oxides or dirt differing from spot to spot. :blobPikaWoozy: The new recipe which works fantastically, is a solution of <code>citric acid</code>, <code>baking soda</code>, and <code>soap</code>, and came to my attention from the <a href="https://youtu.be/fVYZmeReKKY" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Backyards Ballistic</a>, who does like restoration video of antique guns. And it works! I've been scouring the webs since like last summer finding a recipe that doesn't involve overly dangerous chemicals, 2/3rds which I can't even get in Europe. :blobPikaWorried: I'd love for someone with better chemistry knowledge than me to explain why it works, but according to him it works through "chelation". My wild guess is with the right pH, the Citric acid acts as an chelating agent? :thinkHappy: The baking soda is just for pH adjustment as far as I know, and the soap just acts as a soap :blobPikaLaugh: Getting to the point tho, all the crusty oxidation after 3 days was gone. And I got myself a surprise. During the cleaning run I was a bit worried because flakes of brass kept falling off. :blobPikaShock: In turn I was wondering if the sollution somehow enabled a "dezincification" effect, which is the only way for brass to actually "rust". It made me think, maybe the solution was removing material and the plates being in such bad condition that was enough for the oxidation process to rapidly start over and over. :blobPikaWorried: But it was not, luckily! The reeds themselves are brass, and didn't suffer any such. Rather both reed plates were brass coated! :blobpika But the oxidation and corrosion once put in the cleaning solution revealed that the coating itself was no longer bonded properly to the base metal, which was tin! :dragnThinkHyper: And that's the final clue to its age! Harmonica reed plates are normally made of brass, and sometimes steel. But tin is very much unheard of. Tin is a soft metal, and such it's not super ideal for being the base metal for riveting reeds onto that needs to stay put with abuse; after a while the rivets can loosen.But with WWII going on, steel and brass was very expensive, with the whole war going on and all that. So as a cost saving measure, they just plated tin and called it a day! :blobPikaShock:<a href="https://twoot.site/tags/harmonica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#harmonica</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/munspill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#munspill</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/munspel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#munspel</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/mundharmonika" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mundharmonika</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/KattWorkshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KattWorkshop</a>

[:babaKatt:] Fanged Menace :ironFront::enbyCrossbow::sparkles2:(🧵 cont.) Hohner would do various regional versions of their harmonicas, at least as far as I can tell for Sweden and Norway. For example, <a href="https://digitaltmuseum.org/021016548389/carl-m-iversen/media?slide=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">"Paa Sydpolen"</a> ("On the South Pole") was a regional of a similar tremolo harp, commemorating <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amundsen%27s_South_Pole_expedition" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Roald Amundsen's expedition to the South Pole</a>. Specifically for this harp, "Jödde" refers to <a href="https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6dde_i_G%C3%B6ljaryd" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Carl Petter Rosén</a>, a folk musician that performed using a mix of humor and rural tales as the character "Jödde". His specific performance style coined him the originator of the "bondkomik" genre ("Farmer comedy"), which I guess made him prominent enough for Hohner to make a commemorative harmonica in his name.Bondkomik was popular up till WWII, so this is another clue dating it from then :dragnThinkHyper:<a href="https://twoot.site/tags/harmonica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#harmonica</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/munspill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#munspill</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/munspel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#munspel</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/mundharmonika" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mundharmonika</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/KattWorkshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KattWorkshop</a>

[:babaKatt:] Fanged Menace :ironFront::enbyCrossbow::sparkles2:(🧵 cont.) I don't play the tremolo harmonica, but it peaked my interest because of one of the shield platesIt's actually rather hard to date harmonicas, because since basically 1850s the overall design hasn't changed in the slightest; most companies make harmonicas to the patents from that era. Also means that a lot of harmonica parts is in fact interchangeable, which is nice. :dragnUwU: The like more detailed shield plate has a motif that basically all Hohner harmonicas has, two hands holding a ring and various references to past events or prominent people in the company. But around 1937 Hohner stopped adding the star to their plates, making this a harmonica from WWII :dragnAww: Hohner hasn't given a public reason for why, but it's not hard to guess it would have something to do with them being a German company under the Nazi regime :dragnThinkHyper:<a href="https://twoot.site/tags/harmonica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#harmonica</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/munspill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#munspill</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/munspel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#munspel</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/mundharmonika" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mundharmonika</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/KattWorkshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KattWorkshop</a>

[:babaKatt:] Fanged Menace :ironFront::enbyCrossbow::sparkles2:By popular demand, here's one of the latest harmonica projects I'm working on :dragnUwU: I bought this old vintage tremolo harmonica for 50 kroners (5€). Seller said it was in "good condition" but at a glance you can see something isn't exactly right. However I've gotten more comfortable with my skills as a harpsmith, and this shouldn't be too hard to fix, right? Also 50 kroners for a harmonica is bargain :dragnGoogly: Got quite the suprise when I opened it up, I've never seen this kind of corrosion before on reed plates. :dragnEyes: Normally brass will never corrode, unless it's kept in an really bad environment, so wherever this harmonica was stored it was not happy to say the least :dragnSweats:(Press "expand post" to see the rest of the thread🧵)<a href="https://twoot.site/tags/harmonica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#harmonica</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/munspill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#munspill</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/munspel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#munspel</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/mundharmonika" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mundharmonika</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/KattWorkshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KattWorkshop</a>
