Thats a big reason why i don't use stick mics like the SHure 57 and the Shure
545SD- cramped hands! I currently use a Biscuit mic which is sounds very
nice, but I still think the sound from the Shure 545SD I have is the cats meow. I
agree with Richard as well, certain amps do not like certain mics. I have had
some great harp mics just not jive with certain amps I have while some of my
lower end mics just flow with the amp perfectly. Take your time when you are
choosing mics for an amp, and give them all a try, but I will say overall the
Shure 57 is a great buy even if you don't use it for harp. Every musician should
own one for a spare mic or gigging mic. Its a total workhorse and sounds
killer.

Their response range is identical, but the SM57 compresses the tone making it

sound rocky to my ears, and its hard for me to hold without getting cramp.
