For clean harp, any mic with a clean sound and pristine highs will work. =
 Good vocal mics are well suited.

I have a cut from my CD, Moulin Rouge =
http://www.ironmancurtis.com/moulin.mp3 , that was recorded in studio =
(harp in rack - I'm also playing guitar on this track), using a Neumann =
U87, about 15" in front of and above the harp. =20

At around $3000, though, it's probably a little impractical to be =
dragging to the local biker bar.  Fortunately, there are a lot of very =
reasonably priced, good quality condenser mics (including some =
surprisingly good electrets) available.

their mic of choice. do they play through an amp or through the pa =
system. What type of particulars do they require when they set up. This =
is what I'd like to hear about. Jerl
