Re: [Harp-L] Re: Microphones (& maybe an amp)?
Get a decent PA... and a Shure SM58 Mic...
A superb mic and GREAT for acoustic harmonica!
Acoustic harp just needs a "clean" amp and a decent Microphone....
ELECTRIC style harp benefits from more "distortion"... For that an Astatic
JT30 or equivalent, and a Fender tube or *valve* amp. This gives a "rough"
and
beautiful "fuzzy" sound.....
Best wishes

Hi John
Relying as I do on bog-standard gear for my sessions, I'm a bit of an
ignoramus when it comes to mics etc. Can you tell me whether the SM58 can
be hand-held/cupped....or does it have to be on a stand because of noise
from handling/any other reason?
Cheers
