Custom combs

Does anyone have an experience with creating custom combs (wood/acrylic etc.)? What tools are required? Is it possible to cut it without cnc machine or it’s not worth it?

I don’t have any experience with it. Todd Parrott would be someone you could reach out to.

I design my combs in CAD and 3d print them.

I works, and i have a lot of freedom to change my designs and reprint, but of course that only works for printable materials.

Wish I did know how it would be nice to personalize my harps. You could also design them to be more air tight around the reed plate if your planning to recess the reed plate

I will try to reach out some customizers if they will be willing to advice :slight_smile:

Cool, was thinking about it… love my 3d printer

You might “customize” by trying a custom comb from Andrew Zajac in Canada. I have 19 harps in my case and almost all are his combs. I’m too old (and lack the tools and skills) to reinvent the wheel. Just a thought.

Thanks, but I wouldn’t be able to afford them what with the shipping and taxes,
