Can anyone give me a little advice about microphones for harmonica.  I've seen the BadAax ZD-2 Cardioid Dynamic for about $56.  The Shure Green Bullet 520DX Dynamic on Amazon for about 120.  The Hohner Blues Blaster for around 140.  And I found an Astatic JT-30 (claiming to be NOS) for around 200.  

So really 2 questions.  Is a jt-30 worth 200?  And would I be just as well off with one of the cheaper microphones until I get a little more advanced in my studies.

Bulletini -from blowsmeaway.com

I just got a bulletini mic from blowsmeaway.com and it's awesome.  I would check them out on his site. They are 229$ I think.  Worth it!!!
