The answer is very simple. At least that’s how it happened to me.
I had a Hohner Student 32. I never cleaned it after playing, until one day it horribly tuned out. It was when I opened it, and I noticed with horror that the reeds were green with rust.
Some time later, I bought a Superforce 37 Hohner, but this time I always opened it after playing. To this day it works like the first day.
This is the reason, I understand that for some it is strange, but it works for me.
