I like the Audix Fireball V ...
And YES it has a volume control!
A very good harp mike!

mics lacking  for similar reasons, but that's more about my style, I'm sure 
Mad Cat who  sounds great using them will have a very different opinion. 

Stay away  from the new green bullet, as it has a cheap Chinese element 
last I checked.  For my money if you like the feel of a 57, look for and older 
545. If not,  there are some really great harp mic sellers on this list. 


Thanks  Jerry,

Subject: [Harp-L] Hohner  Hoodoo 

I have several SM57s/58's and some nice studio condensers that  I've 
collected over the years for live vocals and home studio recording of  
acoustic instruments, but its time I graduated to something harp-specific.  

Before I just go out and buy a green bullet...is the Hohner Hoodoo rig  any 
good? Anyone with usage experience here? Are there some other similar  
finger mics that I should consider? 

Thanks, as always, for your  guidance.
