Suzuki

Fits the following harps:
Suzuki Manji, Promaster, Suzuki Olive.

Also fits
- Dabell Contender
- Dabell Noble
- Suzuki HarpMaster, BluesMaster (*)
- Bushman Delta Frost(*)

The stock Manji comb is slightly smaller than the reed plates. My comb is a hair bigger than the plates so that the harp is more comfortable to hold.

HarpMaster, BluesMaster:

* Note: For best overall performance, don't change the comb of a HarpMaster or BluesMaster harmonica. I recommend using the stock ABS comb and work to get better performance by using The Reed Plate Claws™ to straighten reed plates. However, some hobbyists like to experiment with the tonal qualities of switching from an ABS "recessed" comb to a solid surface "sandwich-type" comb and these combs will work with a little help.

HarpMaster and BluesMaster harmonica reed plates were designed to be used with a recessed comb. These reed plates do not have a groove into which the coverplate can lock in. Although you can install these reed plates onto a "sandwich-type" comb, you may experience a loss of airtightness if the coverplates become bent. You will find some useful tip on converting these harmonicas here. (Sandwich-type harmonica tips and tricks)

Delta Frost:

Older versions of the Bushman Delta Frost used Harpmaster reed plates. The current reed plates are of lesser quality and are usually warped. Instead of trying to improve them with a comb upgrade, I suggest straightening the reed plates. Please see The F tool™.

More information and instructions for installing my combs are found on the Combs page.
