Frequently Asked Questions

The MS system slightly offsets the blow/draw notes, making bending easier and creating a more natural blues scale without complex cross-harp techniques.
The comb is reasonably durable, but avoid soaking it or exposing it to extreme temperatures to prevent cracking and warping; a simple wipe-down after use is best.
The MS E is brighter and more responsive than the Marine Band, which has a more mellow, vintage tone – think of the MS E as a more modern, 'punchy' blues harp.
