Frequently Asked Questions
The Marine Band has a warmer, woodier tone due to its wooden comb; the Big River’s plastic comb offers more durability and consistency, but less tonal complexity.
The reeds are relatively stiff, so bending takes practice and breath control, but it's achievable with dedication.
While durable, the plastic comb *can* crack with extreme temperature changes or impacts, so handle it with care.
