Re: [Harp-L] mic. advice

You will never go wrong with a Shure SM-58 in your kit.  The first one I 
ever bought, some 40 years ago, I still have and it has saved me more times 
than I can remember.  If you want to use it as a harp mic, juat add a lo-hi 
transformer into a hi impedance amp input.  Best $100 a musician will ever 
spend.  In fact it's in a mic stand with XLR into mixer right now at this 
moment.

                            Hi. could subscribers recommend a microphone 
suitable for use with a group of musicians who play a variety of
                                  musical styles including a few irish 
tunes some country style songs and a few early 70's rock style tunes,
                                  I have a shure 545 that I use for blues 
but I am looking for a mic. that I can put in a stand and play may be 2"-3"
                                  away from it I want the harp to sound 
like it should just as an amplified sound not distort ed like it does with 
Blues.

                                      thanking you in advance--------- John
