It would be interesting to see if Hohner has decided to cut the slots
between the teeth across the grain (as was done with the pearwood) OR
with the grain (as I did). Cutting across the grain is a wee tad
problematic as it exposes the open cells in the bamboo (grass) to
moisture absorption, which, of course must be addressed as a separate
issue.

SB:
The teeth are cut across the grain. As the combs are then completely  
sealed, moisture absorbtion is not a problem
