Re: [Harp-L] comb design/structure

Hey Vern, (ala  Jim Varney) this sounds logical to me. I never really thought 
about those bars  but now that it's brought up I think your explanations fits.
         Really, I just wanted to  say Hey Vern like Jim, may he rest in 
peace. Funny guy he was.

The bar  you refer to was no doubt put there as a brace to prevent  warping.

Because the air passages in the reed chambers are very large  with respect to 
the slot that is mostly blocked by the reed, you won't  notice any 
differences related to air flow under the bars..

And of  course we all know that the material of a comb does not perceptibly 
affect  the sound of the harp.  ;o)
