"I'm not taking Vern up on his bet re hearing different comb materials. However, I will say that I have experienced, as a player, something that is unique to the stainless steel combed chromatic harmonica I have played, including at
least three different Renaissance harmonicas, and the stainless-combed
270s I own: After playing for a few minutes, the harmonica seems to open up and
start to deliver tonal power that feels stronger than anything else
I've experienced"

I could not agree more - I play Mesiertklasses. The effect is startling when they come alive. Your description is spot on. I attribute this to the fact that they literally take longer to warm up.
I really smuggled this comment in to enable me to congratulate you on your truly marvellous "Harmonica for Dummies" book.
Beautifully written and endless food for thought. Only today I recommended it to a new player.
Thanks Winslow !!
