YOUR WEEKLY MICROPHONE MINI-MORSEL

THIS WEEK'S TIP ACTUALLY RUNS COUNTER TO THE NATIONAL TREND OF OVER-CONSUMPTION: Something you should fight the urge to "SUPER-SIZE" is your harpmic. One of THEE most common missteps made by harpsters as they first venture down the trail of amplification is investing in a mic that is ill-suited to their hand size -mics that are typically TOO BIG. Choosing a model based solely on what your hero plays through may result in less than beneficial workability for you. Don't settle on a mic that you cannot fully "cup" or you will be sacrificing a significant aspect of your potential sound and tone... Cowboy boots: You're hero wears 13EE, you wear 10D. Go for the fit and the function, not just the fashion.
