Re: [Harp-L] Improving the harmonica.

A few years ago, Brad Harrison sent me a prototype Golden Melody he tweaked and improved. If this is any indication of what he is up to with a new harmonica, I will DEFINITELY be interested.

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.
