RE: [Harp-L] Using flute or trumpet mics for acoustic cupped soun d

[DFerguso@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Using any condenser type lapel style mic should work just fine outside the
cup, of course the signal would be a bit weaker and you'd have to compensate
for this by adjusting the amp/PA.
Winslow's idea of a velcro strap on the wrist should be OK in fact I've had
some success with this just tucking the mic under my watch strap although
I've not had the opportunity to try this in a gig situation yet.
Let us know how this works out if you're going to try it. There may be
bleed/feedback problems in a very loud stage setup but there's no harm in
trying.
Cheers 
Dave
