I mainly play saxophone in a funk horn section, but a couple of tunes require me to switch to harmonica. Usually I play a shaker madcat through a lone wolf pedal, into the PA via a DI box. BUT this is all a pain in the neck in small venues without enough channels etc and it is for only 2 tunes out of 30.
SO… I was thinking for some gigs that I might take my AKG clip-on mic off my saxophone and use it in my cupped hands like a small harp mic. Obvs the sound guy would have to moderate the volume. It sounds ‘OK’ in my kitchen but…is it going to work on a gig?
Would love to know if any sax/harp doublers have tried this. Thanks!
