Making the Bullet Mic Smaller

Does the bullet mic feel too large in your hands? Instead of holding the mic with the meat of your left thumb (reference Picture 1 at http://www.facebook.com/bluesharmonica), tilt the face of the microphone down so that the bottom edge of the grill aligns with center of your palm (reference Picture 2 at http://www.facebook.com/bluesharmonica). Though the left-right diameter stays the same, the top-bottom diameter decreases dramatically, turning the shape of the mic from a hard-to-hold circle to a much easier shape to hold, an oval. Tone is not adversely affected. Give it a try. Keep in mind that the way you hold your harp is the same, so don't get weird with your holding... everything is the same... just the face of the mic tilts downward slightly.
