Thats a big reason why i don't use stick mics like the SHure 57 and the Shure 
545SD- cramped hands! I currently use a Biscuit mic which is sounds very 
nice, but I still think the sound from the Shure 545SD I have is the cats meow. I 
agree with Richard as well, certain amps do not like certain mics. I have had 
some great harp mics just not jive with certain amps I have while some of my 
lower end mics just flow with the amp perfectly. Take your time when you are 
choosing mics for an amp, and give them all a try, but I will say overall the 
Shure 57 is a great buy even if you don't use it for harp. Every musician should 
own one for a spare mic or gigging mic. Its a total workhorse and sounds 
killer.
