Genie,

the sound hole are in the back of my harp, so I have a modified kiddies floatation kick board with a angled hole in the middle which slides into the hole in the sound board (are you following this so far????? *grin*)

through the hole I stick a Shure SM58 mic which points at the sound board...... works really well.......

and now that I actual have something which holds the mic in I don't get the same funny looks and comments as I used to get when I just set the mic on my stool between my thighs... pointing into the back of the harp!!!

my little lap harp has 3 condenser mics inside with a hole in the side to plug in a lead....... but I don't use the little harp for performances much... its myb "camping harp".......

personally I prefer the sound of the Shure
