And RainSong:

Ok, so the Rainsong is graphite....it's still a high tech, composite man-made material.
FWIW I agree w/ you about the tone of the Marine Band, but the playability sucks!
: I have been playing blues harp for about 7 months, but I have also been singing and playing blues and R&B for almost 30 years. So far I favor wooden comb harps. The warm and resonant sound they make just doesn't seem to be there in plastic body harps. One other thought...If plastic is such a good material for musical instruments, why don't they make things like violins and acoustic guitars out of plastic? No offense meant to anyone out there...just expressing my opinion...Please respond & let me know what you think.
