Frequently Asked Questions
The composite comb offers a slightly brighter, more consistent tone than wood, losing some of the wood's warmth but gaining improved resistance to moisture and temperature changes.
While the C-20 is capable of overbends, the reed profiles aren't optimized for advanced techniques; it's a good starting point but more experienced players might seek a higher-end model.
Stainless steel is significantly more resistant to corrosion and scratches than brass, making the C-20 Olive a more durable option for regular playing and travel.
