Pat... I understand that the guitar and harmonica are two different
instruments... and that they go about producing a tone ect.. in different
ways. My point I guess you haven't caught yet. I am just refering to the way
sound carries in any substance/material. As I said (rather bluntly) in my
last reply... .."..observe the vibration resounding properties of materiels.

The brass nut, as you agreed, will make a difference in the guitar. And the
brass versus a plastic in a comb comparison may be very little. I dont want
to make war over it man... but after all, we do both want a better
instrument. Iron sharpeneth iron. I appreciate your ideas.
I think we ought to take it one step at a time.
Heres my first question:
(1) In regards to sound and the feel/responce..excluding the way the wood
feels to your lips... Is there a difference in a Marine Band vs a Special 20?
Why?

Regards.....Pete
