Any opinions on this mic. I have an opportunity to buy one for $100.00. I looked up some info on it, and from the pic the seller emailed me, it looks like like it might be a dynamic element.

I have a green bullet circa 1998. Is this just going to sound like a Shure GB anyway?

I am going to go play it tomorrow and compare it, but I just wanted to see if you had any thoughts.

No, not Turner Movie Channel, TURNER MUSICAL CLUB! It is quite the blunt instrument and begs the musical question: How big are your hands? Circumference is larger than most mics that might be considered for harp -even without the fin. And with the pivot base, the Turner S22X is the harp player's bicep builder. You may have noticed I haven't even mentioned the mic's sound potential yet. They indeed can sound fine, but have workability issues that put then toward the back of the line...
