Re: [Harp-L] MB Deluxe?



Agree that it sounds bogus to say that not sealing the comb on all surfaces has the intention of keeping the "wooden" feel. I have one harp from Bob Meehan who seals all surfaces. It still feels fine. Let's face it, Hohner probably just wanted to upgrade as inexpensively as possible. There must be significant cost factors to completely seal the comb. As a former carpenter and woodworker I would agree with jross that it doesn't make sense to not seal all surfaces. Moisture will get in and may even produce worse swelling when it only has limited surfaces to evaporate through. Just a hunch.
I agree that the S20 is a fine mass production instrument.
