[Harp-L] Harp mics

["mike wesolowski" <mwesolowski@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A month ago or so I went up to visit my pal Rupert Oysler and deliver an amp to him.  We checked out his cool collection of mics (mostly modded Turners) and he pulled out a Ultimate 57 that he had gotten from Greg Heumann.  I've played through 57s before in an "acoustic harp" kind of environment, but didn't think I dig it too much for playing straight through an amp.   Well................I was wrong.  I liked it a lot !  I ordered one about 2 weeks later after sending one of my own 57s to him.  It's a very cool design with the volume control on the 57.  I have found it to be real fat and very feedback resistant especially with a big amp with 40 or more watts.   For smaller amps like my 14 watt Harvard or 55 Champ or Bogen amps I still dig my JT30s (ceramic and crystal) and T3 with a hot CM element.
I just wanted to tell you folks my experience with this cool mic.
As usual..............no kick-backs from the builder...............blah, blah, blah.
