[Harp-L] Combs

[George Brooks <gbrooksvt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am fortunate to have a number of harmonicas made by Joe Filisko.  
Some are built on composite wood combs and others on machined brass 
combs.  I think there is a significant difference in tone when I play 
them but, of course, I know which type of harmonica I am playing and 
hear what I expect to hear.  When I record them (48 kHz/24 bit through 
a Sennheiser 441), going back and forth from one to another in random 
fashion, then play the result back (through Sennheiser HD 265 
headphones), I haven't a clue which is which.  They sound 
indistinguishable to me.  I'm with Vern.
