Re: [Harp-L] Comb Profile

Take an F# Marine Band and put it on a G comb and it's pretty obvious that it does. Now, you're not working with acoustics per se, but movement of air, make a comb thinner or thicker and it will change response. Mostly this changes how it responds for you...

Subject: [Harp-L] Comb Profile

To push the comb debate in a different direction, I was wondering if the profile of the actual slots of the comb make a difference.  Some harmonicas have squared of ends and some are round.  I am talking the part inside the harmonica.  I was wondering if these could be shaped to enhance tone and performance.  Anybody try such a thing?  Forgive me if this has already been brought up.  I dropped out of the comb conversation weeks ago.  :-)
