[Harp-L] Chromatic mic

[Sheltraw]

Hi Winslow

Could you send me a pic of your setup for the condenser mic? How would you describe the sound difference between your condenser system and a wireless SM58 system.

Cheers,
Daniel

Haven't done a detailed A/B between the Fireball and 58 for chromatic. Toots went from using the standard 58 to Greg's version, possibly due to shorter stick and lighter weight. Hermine Deurloo also uses it.
