You may find that the reedplates fitted to the replacement comb makes for a more airtight unit than the original, which will translate into more volume.

Subject: [Harp-L] 270 Brass Comb?
 

So I have been thinking of replacing my 270's wood comb with a brass unit from Blow Your Brass Off. Now I know that there is debut about if the material of the comb actually makes a difference, but I am more focused on if my stock 270 will be any louder. My main reason for brass is that it will last for ever it's not plastic. 

What do you guys think?

Cheers,
Joey
