A couple of things:
Don't soak your harmonicas in anything. If they are plastic comb, there is not reason to begin with. Wood comb, they will just rust on the inside, plus the comb will swell, become distorted, and you will throw it out quickly.
As for the Bushmans. I have a bunch and they are great, but they are nearly impossible to get. They have been out of stock for many months now, even from bushmanmusic.com. If you want to go in that direction, try the Harpmaster. No matter what anyone says, they are the same harmonica. As a matter of fact, the only difference is that Harpmasters don't have replacement reed plates, Bushman does IF you can get them. Since they have been out of stock for nearly a year, don't bank on it. A little secret is that for less than the price of a Bushman, own the Harpmaster. Sure, they will tell you that Bushmans have phosphor bronze reeds and that makes a difference. Yeah, the tone you achieve is cool, and if you prefer that, buy a Suzuki Bluesmaster and take the reed plates from there and put them in your Harpmaster. The Bluesmaster is made with phosphor bronze reeds. However, the cover plates have a very different shape than the Harpmaster.
Just thought I'd share some knowledge.
