[Harp-L] replacement combs for Crossover harps?

["Optimal" <optimal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ross,

I just completed a plastic for bamboo comb swap on a couple of Crossovers. I 
really like the Crossover with the bamboo comb and tried to talk my customer 
out of swap. Never the less, some people just prefer the plastic comb. I 
will drill & tap the reed plates to accommodate six more screw (a total of 
nine), trim the plates to fit, and assemble into an optimized plastic comb. 
Please email off list for more info if you're interested.

Thanks,
Steve Grimm

years ago Tim Moyer made custom marine band harps with plastic combs and I 
bought a few. They are still my favorite customs and they have held their 
tuning for many years. I don't think he is making them anymore - (wish he 
was). I recently bought a Hohner Crossover (key of A) with the bamboo comb 
and although it is a very bright and responsive harp, I just can't get used 
to the feel of the bamboo comb. Was wondering if anyone in the customizing 
biz sells replacement plastic combs for the crossover from anyone. Do SP20 
combs fit the crossover?

Thanks
