[Harp-L] Re: Chris Wienk Supplied the Fireballs

["Damien Masterson" <damienzm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 It should be noted, if it hasn't, that Chris Wienk was one of the main 
people to make this Fireball happen, being he has a lot more knowledge about 
how microphones work than most players, myself included; and he spent 
countless hours relaying that info to Audix. Chris Wienk is a chromatic 
player in Los Angeles, I've known him for a couple of years. Thanks for your 
work, Chris!
  It should also be noted that the Fireball on the market today is not the 
same as those prototypes you played in L.A., it has undergone some changes 
internally as well as design. I played them both, I think the final version 
is superior to either of those prototypes.
