Re; [Harp-L] Query re mic

[Bill Houle <saxandharper@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use a Beta 57 into a Digitech VX400 direct into the PA. I play a mix of blues, alternative rock and R&B. So I'm not looking for that real classic Chicago sound but do like to be able to go from clean to dirty as the song dictates. Also I double on sax and by switching patches on the VX400 I can use the same mic for the horn.

  So I'm looking for versatility and reliability but it does have to sound good with the harp. I like it a lot. Feels comfortable as well when cupping the mic. And I really like traveling light!

Hi Harpers --  I read reviews of the "Shure Beta 57A " Microphones.
The reviews all praising the beta model are from other than harp 
players.
I'd like to read some harp players remarks.  US Price I see is $139.oo.

(Does the term 'beta' indicate 'new & experimental'  ??)
