Re: [Harp-L] Kalamazoo and...CR's black label

["Ben Bouman" <fitgo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Chuck repaired 4 Shure CR Black Label for me and yes, they all have "the 
sound" again!!
Normally I use my Electro Voice Re10 but right now I'm thinking if starting 
to use smaller bullet with a CR again

Now that should be big fun ...my Harpking 6x10 and a very hot Black CR... 
:-))
