Frequently Asked Questions

The plastic comb tends to produce a slightly muted, less resonant tone than metal, often described as 'warmer' but lacking some projection.
While functional, the reeds are a weaker point; aggressive bending and frequent playing can shorten their lifespan and affect intonation.
It's certainly usable for learning cross-harp, but the reed limitations might make more advanced bending techniques challenging.
