[Harp-L] Tsunami or Strnad microphones for bass harmonica?

Hello, so I've been doing some Googling around, and find that there are 
at least two microphones specifically for harmonica. The descriptions 
say that they fit best with standard ten-hole diatonics. I've not been 
able to determine whether the microphone is a shell that slips over the 
harmonicas, or whether it clips onto the slots in the back. I'd really 
like to amplify my new bass harmonica more than my Lee Oscars for most 
things. If these two models won't actually work because they won't 
attach to a big Swan bass harmonica, then would a flute microphone work? 
My friend has used a flute mic to amplify certain high notes in his 
autoharp playing. If I do need to use another microphone, it probably 
would have an XLR at its end, so hopefully there's a converter to make 
the XLR into a 1/4 guitar cord plug.
Thanks for any help.
Matthew
