"3. Use opinion language instead of fact language."


This is a great suggestion.  For opinions.  When something is a fact,  
then calling it an opinion diminishes it.  Recognizing the difference  
between objective facts and subjective opinions is important: there  
are not two sides to everything, some things are and others aren't.

In this case, whether comb material effects the sound of the  
harmonica is a fact.  It is a question of mechanical interactions  
which can be tested, measured and codified.  It is not about people's  
opinions, feelings or the like.  Those are valid, but entirely  
separate issues.
