Re: [Harp-L] Piedmont Blues, Special 20, and Golden Melody Comb Question

[Jon Harl <jharl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually those pieces of plastic are sprues used in the manufacture  
of the comb and serve no purpose after the comb sets. Some  
customizers remove them on the Special 20's but if you try to do that  
on the Golden Melody the comb will shatter.
