Frequently Asked Questions

The Antique series has rounded covers which soften the tone, while standard Sessions have flatter covers for a brighter, more piercing sound. Both are excellent, but cater to slightly different preferences.
While some prefer wood, the plastic comb’s stability means it's less prone to tuning issues and easier to maintain, which is a practical benefit for many.
Absolutely; the Richter tuning is standard and works well for cross-harp blues, though mastering it takes practice like any harp.
