: I have abundant facial hair (moustache and beard) to which I'm rather attached... and I'm learning (well, trying) to play harp. I dig the Lee Oskar harps, but find that hairs get snagged readily between the cover plate and comb. Yanking an occasional hair out of one's lip is not so conducive to playing soothing music. Anyone else have this problem, and can anyone tell me if any of the other harps, maybe more expensive ones, fit together better than the Lee Oskars, so as to reduce or eliminate this "hazard"?
I've had the same problem with the Lee Oskar harp from time to time. I've noticed it doesn't seem to happen while playing my Hohner Special 20. You might want to give one a try. Good Luck.
