Well, thank you so much Kirk for doing that and to Jim for his interest. This is ka983 So to answer your question, I am completely unsophisticated so my first harp recording I did with a zoom which had Attached to it an audio technica stereo microphone and for the life of me. I can't remember the darn 80 80 something It's it's it's it's essentially two condenser microphones put into a single Mic head and Unlike the stereo microphones on the current recorder. I'm using it It didn't have they weren't arranged in an XY pattern. They were simply side by each other The recorder I'm currently using and and where I recorded my last harp album is a zoom h6 which has a module on it that consists of two microphones arranged in an XY pattern for the stereo and You can vary the shape of that XY pattern which makes it kind of nice for harps So the trick the trick of recording harps is to do it in a way where you can't hear finger noise and where the 200 or the Harps a lot of harps have a kind of notch at about 200 Hertz talking to 250 300 Hertz right around middle C and that thing will ring like a son of a gun and It is sometimes possible if you might get just exactly right to Make it so you don't have to EQ out that Not or that peak there And what I typically will do is I'll just sit and listen to the playback on everything I can till I get a mic placement I like and then that's what I'll use But because my harp only has 25 strings. It's very small. It's a lap harp. Hang on a second
