Frequently Asked Questions
The composite comb is more resistant to cracking and swelling from moisture, requiring less maintenance than wood. It doesn’t impart the same tonal characteristics as wood, though.
The Phosphor Bronze reeds lend a brighter, more cutting tone, which is excellent for blues and folk but may be less suited to traditional Celtic or jazz where a warmer tone is desired.
The C-20 Olive aims to bridge the gap; it retains the Manji's easy playability while offering the Promaster’s more robust projection, but it’s a slightly more balanced, mid-range focused sound.
