Thread Name: Harmonica Players Unite!
Subject: RE: Harmonica Players Unite!
I recently bought a Shure Green Bullet mic, and I like it. I play it through a Crate Acoustic 60 W amp, and it sounds great. Now I realize the reason for using an amp miked to the PA - if your band is amplified you can only hear the harp if you stand in front of your amp, in which case it feeds back. Duh.

I've run into some interesting quirks in the Lee Oskars. When played hard, the reeds seem to have a tendency to stick or clog. When I'm getting ready to do a tune that requires hard harp playing, I now choose the Hohners because they seem to play cleaner and clearer under stress.
