Ask Harp Mic Expert Greg Heumann

Greg: I watched Dennis Gruenling's Zoom Q&A session with Kirk "Jellyroll" Johnson this past Saturday afternoon, and Kirk gave you props for "ultimatizing" one of his favorite Shure SM-type mics, making your mod to his one of his favorites for both live performance and recording amplified. "Gee," I thought: I may never be able to play like Kirk, but at least I can play into a mic that's every bit as good as his." While enjoying the SM57 you ultimatized for me, I got to wondering: Can you "ultimatize" anything else in my life? E.g., my aging body? My aging car? continue reading...

ok thanks i will try its tomorrow cordially

the problem is that I can't download it to translate it into French I don't speak English I translate all ??

ha yes I will read it with pleasure thank you

thank you for your answer yes indeed I have a good look and it is a 250dx therefore probably less well !!

hello I recently bought the HB 52 harp blaster and I would like to know what quality it has if it is a good microphone and also I bought the shure 520 I would also like to have your opinion on it thank you !!

I bought two for 50 bucks, could you give me your opinion about this mic? Thanks.

Hi, I have a shure slimx777 from the 60's needs restoring, is it a good mic, it will cost me 75.00 to restore.

Can you provide any feedback on the Shaker Dynamic Handmade Harmonica Mic 1/4" Jack?   Thank you

Hello Greg,

Would you please share which would you consider "the best" condenser microphone for recording accoustic harmonica?

Adn then my second question: could you also recomend a more budget alternative somewhere in the 1k range that would still be good for harmonica (and perhaps vocals)?

Thanks in advance!
