If you’re playing at an open mic or on stage PLEASE use your own mic. Ours are probably the only mainly used instrument that sounds on draw notes plus it’s normal for the mic to be cupped close to the harp. Now think about it, do you want to be drawing in breath through or close to a mic that someone else has coughed, spluttered or expelled mouth fluids on when used for vocals? I’d rather not play than use a mic that everyone else has been using. When I started I bought a second hand AKG D1200E, instrument mike that I sanitized and it’s still my favorite more years than I care to think later. To my mind it’s as important to have your own mics as it is to have your own harps especially now we have to consider Covid. Jay1
