[Harp-L] comb design/structure



If you look into the hole of a diatonic harp, why do some models have a bar running horizontal across the middle of the comb (e.g. Golden Melodies) and some have none (e.g., Marine Bands)? Is this a manufacturing issues w/ plastics vs. wood? Are there plastic combs that do not have such a bar? Are there wood combs that do have this bar? It does not seem to have any impact upon the sound, but it would seem like it should affect airflow somehow...

Curious,
Marc Molino
