[Harp-L] RE: [HarpTalk] High End Hand issues

That's the down side of using a unidirectional mic like the sm57. I'm sure
you can angle the mic some in your cup to point it at the high end more, or
just open the cup up, it's not needed as much with the high end I'd think,
as a last resort. Or get a Fireball from Coast2Coast :-)   But also, are you
sure you aren't using anything like a harp commander or other processor or
anti-feedback device? They will strip off the highs if configured to do so
in most cases. You said "hearing myself" - is it just the monitor or is the
audience also having trouble hearing the high end?

hey all,

   i have trouble hearing myself well when i play on
the high end. i use an SM57,and with a good cup, even
a loose one, i can hear fine on the low end. when i go
up high though, i don't seem to be coming through the
speaker. i think i may be "losing" the sound off to
the side of the mic. any advice on how to alter my cup
or move the harp to be able to play up high? i need to
be able to pull it off in the middle of playing...

thanks,
--Jp
