Re: [Harp-L] B-Radical review

Hi Jonathon,

There not any "screens in the back of the comb"... the comb is completely open, except for the double bracing of the composite comb, as can be seen in the "body" photo ("what a feast for the eyes").

I own a Key of A, and I can verify that there are not any "screens".

Great harmonica !

I think its a great name for Brad Harrison's harmonica creation... B-RADical coming from his first name "BRAD".  Very clever and accurate.
