Frequently Asked Questions

The plastic comb imparts a brighter, more direct tone – less 'woody' than traditional models. It’s still a great tone, just a different character.
Generally, stainless steel reeds require a bit more breath control to achieve the same level of bends as softer reeds, but they're incredibly responsive once you get the hang of it.
It's quite accessible for beginners due to its reliable response, but the slightly stiffer reeds will also help develop good breath control - a win-win.
