I'll add another 2 cents here,
Sometimes you can pull your hair out trying to gap one to play right, when
the problem is leakage between the comb and reedplate, or comb and
mouthpiece. Just because it's plastic doesn't mean that it is true. To
address this, I break off the 2 locator dowels, and sand the comb. All this
requires is a screwdriver, a nice flat piece of glass (thicker the better),
a sheet of 400# sandpaper, and a careful eye.
