Re: [Harp-L] Alan Wilson's microphon

[Greg Heumann <greg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

From the looks of it, the entire volume control assembly is separate  
from the mic and was a hand made job. The mic could have been a lot of  
things but the barrel is consistent with a Shure 545 - and that would  
have been one of the more common and popular mics for harp at the time.
