I bought a great ribbon mic last year and use it for both live gigs and recordings. It's an Oktava ML-52-1 -- Russian made but available in the states through OktavaUSA. I think they're in Iowa. Very affordable price at just over $400. Almost every "sound man" here in Italy loves this mic when I bring it and on return gigs, they always remember it. In fact, Tom Harrell used it on a gig here in Rome at the Casa del Jazz a week and a half ago and told me afterwards how much he dug it. A mic well worth checking out. You can get right up on it with the harmon or without the harmon as well.
