I think recessed coverplates is the right word for it...either way, plastic combed harmonicas like SP20 and bluesmasters etc. have them, where the comb protrudes past the coverplats. I think they're the most comfortably designed harps as my experience with non-recessed cover harps often cut slightly, or pull facial hair (especially hohners). The only thing is there's not a lot more harps like this out there, besides the seydel session and perhaps one/two more.

I think even after trying promasters and bluesmasters, I always come back to my self custom SP20s. What I basically want is a really comfortable harp that is of high quality, so even if there's non-recessed models that are really comfortable still, maybe you can suggest them to me.

I've heard the Manji feels similar to a SP20 playability wise - can anyone yey or ney this theory.

Cheers guys
