I recently got a "dark" comb from Andrew Zajac for my Hohner 365. It's a great looking comb and very well made. Andrew's attention to detail is superb. His service overall was exemplary. He got the comb to me in less than a week from Canada to the UK and was very helpful at every stage of the deal. I'd happily recommend his work to others based on this product. The comb has definitely helped the overall airtightness and compression of the harmonica.
Here's a little video of me playing the 365 with it's new comb. Doing my rendition of the Sonny Boy classic Bye-Bye Bird. Hope you all enjoy it.

Arzajac really has something special going on. Enjoyed your music as well.

NOTE: The price of a loonie is dropping, good deals up Canada way

I could be wrong but I believe Andrew's stuff is priced in greenbacks.

Great work gents.

I like your natural unforced vocals, Kingley. I bet it takes a lot of work to sound like that!

I may have been remiss in mentioning it previously, but I also find arzajac's combs excellent. His customer service in keeping you informed is top notch as well. (No anxiety on my part.)

i've been using quite a few of those combs. they seem to do the job, which is all i ask. and they are affordable, which is important. i bought a bargain-price 5 pack of marine bands and a 6 pack of combs and made 5 homebrew "deluxe" marine bands to practice my tweaking skills. great to have an affordable source of flat combs which aren't prone to warp and don't require sealing

That was great Kingley, thanks for sharing. I particularly like the irony of using a 14-holer for a piece that tends to stay in the low end. :)

I'm intrigued by the idea of a 'dark' comb - or as I like to think of it, a comb made from 'dark matter'.

Tell me, is the feel of the comb as smooth as it looks? I might order one for my Thunderbird...

Thank you for the kind words everyone. Thank you Andrew for the great comb.

Harmlessonica - Yes the comb is extremely smooth in the mouth. It feels just like a highly polished wood to me, but even smoother.
