I have three of these microphones.  They are very good mics, but not
very directional.  They are best when singing from a distance of about
six inches, so they have to be louder in order to get the stage volume.
These were a very popular vocal microphone and a very fragile.  Do not
drop it on the stage!  I would not use it as a hand held harp mic, but
they do work nicely for doing acousic stuff through the PA.  Shure
still makes replacement cartriges for them.
