Re: [Harp-L] Aiwa DM 21 microphone

Martin,

I'm not sure what "looks like a harp mic" would mean exactly, but I have an 
Aiwa crystal or ceramic element (about 1 3/8" dia.) in a JT30 shell that 
sounds pretty good, strong signal.  I have no idea what model mic it came 
from, because it came to me in a Shure private label brown bullet. I think 
some of those japanese made crystal elements from the sixties sound pretty 
good, I have a couple of Calrad crystal elements that I like real well, and 
they have been durable, so far.  JD

On a local site I see there´s an Aiwa DM 21 microphone for sale. It´s rather 
cheap and it "looks" like a harp mic. But that´s not saying much.
Anybody with any general impressions of Aiwa mics, from the 60´s, as I 
believe this one is?
Cheers,
Martin
