Black plastic (PMMA acrylic) combs that are individually flattened by hand - by me.

That flatness improves airtightness, tone, and response beyond any stock comb.

The tine tips are polished to gloss for comfort and playability, and the sides and back are left matte for a secure grip. Nobody wants to hold a harmonica that feels like a slippery jellyfish.

The mirror finish on the front of each comb is achieved using a method I developed and refined that is both food safe and earth friendly. The result is a permanent, naturally smooth, glassy surface that feels like candy in your mouth.

While some other comb finishing processes rely on petroleum-based polishing compounds, solvent carriers, or metal oxide abrasives, my approach is built around achieving the finish without depending on those materials. This avoids the risk of unwanted residues remaining embedded in the acrylic, even after thorough cleaning.

These combs are built to last a lifetime, very likely longer than the harmonica itself. If you ever do need to dispose of one, the material is fully recyclable where facilities exist.

MB= Marine Bands Made Better

I took a couple of my old Marine Bands from the 70’s and 80’s that were always my last choice when scrambling through my harp case, and added these AZ combs, and now guess what? They are my “go to” harps when I need those keys (F and low D).
Not only do they sound SO much better because of how airtight they are, they also really give those old Marine Bands a custom hot rod look! Reminds me of my old ‘50 Buick with chrome grill and black paint! Easy on the tongue too- no more swelling wooden combs!

Thanks Fred!!!
We appreciate you!

Smoother on the tongue

I really am enjoying the Black Plastic (Acrylic) Comb. I have changed all my Crossovers to the plastic comp. For me, I cannot tell the difference in sound quality and it is definitely smoother on the tongue. I'm keeping my other Zajac combs as backups just in case. Never throw away good parts.

Thanks so much for this kind review, Kenneth.
We appreciate you.

Dressed up my 1896!!

The glossy black makes my harp look sharp!! The flatness of the comb made it airtight while keeping the warm sound!

We appreciate your business, Michael.
