The stock Lee Oskar comb in black ABS plastic, air-tight by design and compatible with every Lee Oskar reed plate: Major Diatonic, Melody Maker, Natural Minor, and Harmonic Minor, in any key.
The comb is the body of the harmonica: the channels your breath travels through and the surface the reed plates seal against. When that seal goes, so does the instrument’s response. A comb that’s cracked, warped, or no longer sitting flush leaks air, and a leaking harp feels unresponsive no matter how good the reeds are.
Wood combs move. They absorb moisture as you play, swell against the reed plates, and shrink again as they dry, which is what causes protruding tines, uneven seals, and the slow loss of airtightness over a harp’s life.
ABS plastic doesn’t do any of that. It stays dimensionally stable through years of playing and cleaning, which keeps the seal tight and the response consistent. It’s why this is the stock comb on every Lee Oskar harmonica.
One comb, the whole system. Any Lee Oskar reed plate mounts to it, so a replacement comb works with the harp you already own and doesn’t need to match its tuning or key.
That also makes it the foundation of a full rebuild: a fresh comb, a new set of reed plates, and your existing cover plates amount to a new harmonica for a fraction of the price.
Product Details: Lee Oskar Replacement Comb · Black ABS plastic · Model #10CB · Fits all Lee Oskar reed plates.
All of them. Cover plates are shared across the entire Lee Oskar Harmonica System, so the same covers fit a Major Diatonic, Melody Maker, Natural Minor, or Harmonic Minor in any key.
Wood absorbs moisture as you play, which makes it swell and shrink over time, causing protruding tines and a gradual loss of the airtight seal. ABS plastic stays dimensionally stable, keeping the seal and the response consistent.
When it’s cracked, warped, or no longer seating flush against the reed plates. The symptom is usually a harp that feels leaky or unresponsive even with reeds in good condition.
The comb itself doesn’t set the tuning; the reed plates do. But since every Lee Oskar reed plate fits this comb, you can build a harp in any tuning on it.
No. The comb, reed plates, and cover plates are independent. Replace whichever has worn out.
