[Harp-L] Re: Marine Band Deluxe

["Jonathan Metts" <jonathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Awesome review!  If Hohner ever brings this line to the U.S., I'll have to try one.  My first harp ever was a Marine Band, but the wood swelled and I had a hard time bending on it (too leaky), so I switched over to plastic combs after that.  I'd like to go back and try another (sealed) wood comb to see how it compares, and the Deluxe seems like the cheapest way to do that other than learn sealing myself.  I'm more comfortable with reedwork than bodywork and do it on all my harps anyway, so that's not a concern.
