I second Joe's idea and question, Chris. In fact, someone posted just this  
week about hoping to find a 280 acrylic or corian comb on Slidemeister.  
I'd also likely be interested in solid brass (or other metal) combs for the  
280/Super 64 as well if you ever do decide to make them.
 
 
You do beautiful work and deserve our respect and attention. 
 
 
I occasionally play my 260's - and might also be interested in a brass  
comb for them - although mine are still in good shape for now, but think the  
market for them would be more 'niche' at this point in time. Just mho. You  
obviously have more insight into just how many players there are since people 
 contact your site directly.
 
 
I do believe however, that there might be a lot of chromatic  players very 
interested in combs you might make for 270's since that  size IS a big and 
constant topic of conversation among the  chromatic players on Slidemeister.

Chris are there any plans to offer Corian or  acrylic combs for the 
wood-bodied 280's? I have several extremely nice  vintage 16-holers that 
would make sweet builds, but all of them have cracked  combs. I've repaired 
the one I play, but after I do that it just cracks  somewhere else a few 
months later.......

While waiting on the milling  machine to machine some combs tonight I 
decided 
to create the machine  programs for the Hohner 260 comb. I machined a 
prototype and it came out  really nice. I'll try and get them added to the 
website pretty soon. I've  got the programs written to make them from 
corian 
and acrylic but haven't  created the program for making them from brass 
yet. 
Now that I've got the  other programs creating the ones for the brass comb 
won't be to  difficult.
