Re: [Harp-L] Golden Melodies with wood combs/Earl the Pearl

[David Payne <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a Brazillian Rosewood comb by Earl the Pearl on a Bb Golden Melody. It is awesome! I think the GM looks tacky with the red plastic, I like something a little more classy-looking than plastic on a harp comb. Earl's comb is just gorgeous. Whether it's more tight, I don't know. But it is extremely comfortable to play and awesome to look at, It is very tight. The comb teeth feel almost like they aren't even there, it's super smooth. Everybody ought to have at least one of the Pearl's combs, if nothing else, just to sit and look at it. They are a work of art


I've looked around, with the idea of putting a wood comb on some custom Golden Melodies. I used to do it myself, but it is a lot of trouble making combs. It takes a great deal of time, but I might fire it up the combmaking again anyway. 
Earl is the only Golden Melody comb maker I could find.

Subject: [Harp-L] Golden Melodies with wood combs

So does anyone jazz up their GM's with wooden combs?? Thoughts? Opinions?? I mainly play GMs but have a love/hate relationship with them because of the plastic comb.? The only?person I know that makes wood combs for the GM is Earl the Pearl.? It's pricey, but def. looks worth trying at least once.
Thanks,
Austin
