A combination comb and harmonica is being held by a hand above a dresser.

HarmoComb

21st February 2026

Now back in my closed mine, I needed to think seriously about the best way to get it reopened.

Of course, I could read the report that Jenny from PHART (the Proper Horrible Authority for Recreational Tunnelling) had written, which listed all the “failings” I needed to “fix”. And then I could go ahead and actually make those changes.

Or… I could come up with a much more cunning plan.

To help me think, I considered playing my HeatHorn, or even my MelodicTissues. But I didn’t have a cold, and my dinner was already hot, so they felt… superfluous.

I ran my hand through my hair in frustration… and that’s when it hit me.

What I needed… was the HarmoComb.

You probably don’t know about HarmoComb, but it’s a comb and harmonica in one. Perfect for moments like this when you've ruffled your hair one too many times and need to calm yourself with the sweet, sweet tones of a harmonica.

Now, I will admit that you can’t play the harmonica and comb your hair at the same time. But if you move your hand really fast, you can come awfully close.

Awfully, based on the sound, is probably the right word for it.

Do you want to sound like someone who plays the harmonica but look like someone who doesn’t? Then you need a HarmoComb. As soon as possible.

Note to self: Consider adding a DrumBrush to the collection.
