[Harp-L] Approaching an unfamiliar PA a further thought

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

Here's a trick if you are handed a vocal mic to cup that's just EQ'd  
too hot for harp and you can't adjust the board:  Adjust your grip so  
the mic is UNDER the back of the harp, so the  air isn't going  
directly into the mic and keep your cup loose. Certainly not a  
perfect situation, but this may keep you from sounding too overbearing.

If a PA mic starts feeding back when you are not playing, hold the  
mic so the grill/element is pointing straight up--dunno why, but this  
will stop the feedback more often than not.
