On the subject of things that may or may not alter the sound of your harp, I couldn't help noticing the comment Winslow made about being able to recognise a CX-12's "plasticky" sound across a crowded room. Perhaps in the harp-l sound library, we could have samples of a plastic-combed harp and a wood-combed harp and a reply form, then we could find out just how many people can (or can't) tell the difference? Just a thought...
One thing to point out. It's not just the matter of a plastic comb with the CX-12, but a plastic wraparound shell, as well. To me there is a stronger difference between, say a 270 and a CX-12 than there is between a Marine Band and a Special 20.
