[Harp-L] comb material.

I'm not hugely opinioned about this,but for what it's worth here's my two  
bob's worth.
 
I prefer wood mainly because to me it a question of temperature. I find  
wooden bodied harps heat up quickly when you play them. In a gig situation this  
is important because the harp i feel works better when warm. In saying that  
though the GM is my harp of choice and i buy cherry wood combs from Italy and  
fit them.
 
      Metal bodied harps i feel take much longer  to heat up and also,don't 
know if this is just me but,they make my saliva glands  go intae overdrive to 
the point my back teeth are floating.
 
     As far as telling whether a harp has a  wood,metal,plastic or whatever 
kind of comb fitted i really think i'd struggle a  bit.
 
   Cheers,Al.
