RE: [Harp-L] Wood Combs

["Chris Michalek" <Chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike, I'll show you how to set up your harps for OBs when I get up
there in a few weeks.  I also have one of those earl the pearl combs.
Ricci gave one to me but I don't hear a difference. I know Carlos
uses them too.  Jason swears by the warmth but I just don't think
it's worth the $$ for something the audience will never hear.  They
look really nice though.

I've been playing golden melodies lately because I'm playing 4-5
nights per week and need to get to playing stock harps if I'm to be a
road warrior. The GMs sound great to me.  Cut out the trip between
the teeth of the comb. Get some two part epoxy and fill in the GM
combs.  Sand them smooth.  I think they sound as good as anything for
$65.
