Comb
All of my custom harmonicas are fitted with the original Sjoeberg Combs. See Combs.
Tuning
All my harmonicas are tuned to 441hz richter with my own type of compromised tuning. If you want your harmonica tuned to something special just let me know and we'll try to sort it out. Most people are happy with my standard tuning.
