Re: [Harp-L] Sorry, it's combs again

To be truly effective, you should introduce a double blind aspect - like a  
control group that uses a placebo medication mixed in with another group using 
a  true medication. This reveals the human psychology and tricks the mind 
plays  into the equation.
 
In other words, someone else should have the different combs and  
occasionally tell you that it is a different material when, in fact, it is the  same one 
you just tried to see if this could contribute to the fact that you  hear a 
difference.

During  my comparison of around two dozen otherwise identical combs

covers  and the same two sets of reed plates, my notes showed  
consistent  differences in sound. I have no doubt that these  
differences  actually exist, and even though they are relatively small  
and may  not be noticeable to the listener, I notice them.
