Design of the DUDE HARP
All
DUDE HARP combs and reed plates use the same nine screw hole pattern to assure an airtight seal.The DUDE HARP is designed to be tight without the need for seals or waxes. Minimal energy is absorbed by the bare comb, allowing every note to sound it's fullest.
All reeds are individually checked and regapped for better response and balance. Tip scooping is now included on all Dude Harps.
This photo is a comparison of the factory covers with the
DUDE's reformed covers. The larger opening releases every little nuance of your playing.

All reed plates are precisely drilled & tapped on this drill fixture. The consistent hole pattern allows for a sure fit when replacements are needed. A customized Marine Band with interchangeable reed plates! Definitely COOL!
