Axe Music's web site has a placeholder for this mic 
(http://www.axemusic.com/product.asp?numRecordPosition=1&P_ID=14264&PT_ID=165).
They don't have it in stock, nor a photo of it.  Peavey's web site 
doesn't mention it.

So it must not be out there yet.  I'll be interested to see it.  A mic 
is the second-to-least expensive thing you can buy (the least expensive 
being a decent delay pedal) to get a new, different, and usable sound 
out of the harp.  This one will apparently sell for about $109.  I hope 
it's not just a re-packaged Audix Fireball--I've already got one of those.

This is the second mass manufacturer (Audix being the first) to release 
a mic designed expressly for harmonica players in the last year or so. 
Pretty interesting.  We talk a lot on this list about how harp players 
don't have prospects, don't get no respect, etc., etc.  But two major 
manufacturers have apparently decided that there are enough harp players 
out there to make investing in product development for harp players 
worthwhile.
