Frequently Asked Questions
The composite comb offers a slightly drier, less resonant tone than a traditional wooden comb, and the feel is noticeably different, lacking the warmth and slight texture of wood.
While possible, the D tuning isn't ideal for cross-harp; it's better suited for playing in the key of D or related keys.
The C-20 Olive D aims to blend the playability of the Manji (easier to bend) with the fuller tone of the Promaster, offering a good balance for beginners.
