I have several Electro-Voice mics that I use for harp.  Only my RE-
10 is a wand mic, the rest are not intended to be hand helds.  I 
have a 634, which is supposed to be mounted on a gooseneck.  Great 
clean tone, works well at high sound pressures.  I have a 924, an 
ancient "lavalier" mic, and although it's huge for that use it's 
nice and small with a hot crystal element.  I have a venerable 630, 
which sounds wonderful, but is a heavy beast.  I also have a 617, 
which is like the 607.  That one is low-z and is also great at high 
sound pressures, but I don't use it much because of the impedance 
issues.  Of these, I like the 634 the best, because it has a great 
clean sound and is very reliable.
