Frequently Asked Questions
The Penta Harp is tuned to a minor pentatonic scale, so it has a darker, more bluesy character than the standard C Special 20’s major diatonic sound.
While plastic combs are generally durable, they can crack under extreme bending or if exposed to harsh chemicals; treat it with care like any instrument.
While technically possible, it won’t have the same familiar bluesy feel as a C harp; the minor pentatonic tuning changes the available notes significantly.
