Frequently Asked Questions
The 1847 Classics offer a good bending response, but require some practice and breath control to master – they’re not as forgiving as some modern designs.
The brass comb imparts a slightly brighter, more resonant tone with a subtle metallic edge – some players prefer it for its traditional feel, while others might find it less 'airy' than a plastic comb.
While capable, the 1847 Classics are more suited to straight harp playing; cross-harp techniques can be challenging due to the reed layout and response.
