Hi Don >>>I forgot to say I put on a Fiberskin head too!A friend of mine told me to get one of thoughs little vedio mikes at radio shack and stuff that in the back of the thing. I've always liked the shure 57{? the straight one without the ball} on stage. Miking is the reason I gave up on my Bacon Profesional. It has such beautifull tone in a Parlor but is enpty on a mike.It looses all thoughs under-tones and everything.Anyway thanks for the feed-back.....Guy>>>>>>>
