Frequently Asked Questions
The plastic comb is easier to clean and less prone to cracking, but it can slightly dampen the tone and doesn't resonate as richly as metal.
The intonation isn’t as precise as a Special 20, but it’s acceptable for blues bends and expressive playing at this price point.
Given the construction, expect the reeds to wear out faster than higher-end harmonicas with brass reeds, especially with aggressive playing.
