Fw: [Harp-L] number of crystal vs. ceramic jt30's

["Gary Bohannon" <beauxart2@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Judging from what I've seen, the ceramics are kinda rare compared to the 
crystal JT's... seems like for every 20 crystals I see an old ceramic.  Most 
of the ceramics I have, and have seen, were from the '60's, which coincides 
with the fact that just about every late '60's/early '70's crystal JT I've 
found is usually dead.  Seems like the quality control of the '60's crystals 
really fell off, I'm sure that's why Astatic must of started to produce more 
ceramics at that time.
The ceramics are nice sounding mics, real even and kinda mellow... great for 
higher key harps.

Some of the big time harp mic collector guys could probably weigh in here 
and give a more educated opinion.

Hope that helps,
Gary B.
