Hi guys,I'm thinking about maybe getting a second mic to record with, eiter accoustic or amplified ambient room sound.I have an old sennheiser MD421 which is great, mainly for recording up close.So I guess I'd like to now what else I might get. I hear condenser mics are great (perhaps one with multiple polar patterns) but there's so much choice and so little information to find on what is suited for harmonica...Thanks and best regards,Nick

Thanks for the tip David.

Thanks for the tip David. Turns out the old sennheiser is one of Kid's prefered mics. The cascade mics look great as well, and affordable...
