Re: [Harp-L] mic. advice

["John" <johnatjumpjiveandswing@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi. James & other advisors, thankyou very much for your advice based on your 
own experience, the only reason that I have not so far bought
                                                 a Shure SM58 is that I 
thought that mics. for harp had to be High impedance and for vocals low 
impedance and that
                                                  the SM58 was a vocal mic. 
am I wrong in this train of thought?or is it not as critical a requirement 
as I believed ?

                                                                    regards 
-------------- John
