[Harp-L] improving the harmonica

[Aalprice@xxxxxxx]

Fair do's Tim...maybe not pearwood,but the cherry wood is nice.
 
I bought some from a guy in Italy and they are brilliant.  Your right  
though, the plastic used on the GM combs is really bad for splintering.   That's a 
pet pet peeve for me too.

     I agree that the comb is the shortcoming of the  Golden Melody -- 
although they are plastic, the quickly start to crack and  flake -- but 
PLEASE no pearwood!  I have dealt with quite enough crappy  Marine Band 
combs in my day to wish that on my precious GMs.  I'd be  happy with a 
plastic comb made from a decent plastic that doesn't  self-destruct in a 
few months.
