Frequently Asked Questions

The bamboo comb provides a warmer tone and reduces moisture buildup, leading to more consistent performance and potentially longer reed life compared to the standard plastic comb.
While still 0.9mm brass, the plate design and reed placement have been refined for better response and evenness across the range.
The Richter tuning is relatively straightforward, but the Marine Band’s characteristic bite and response take some getting used to, so a little prior harmonica experience is helpful.
