i couldn't find any specific boards for them, so i figured some people in this board might by harmonium players.
questions:
what are the best mics for live/recording harmonium?
what is the best way to transport them in cold climates?
thanks
zac

don't use a sm57.
use a condensator mic.
for example an akg c451.
or one with a bigger membrane if you need more BASSSSSSS.
harmoniums, just like accordions, are not that easy to record.
you'll have to try and try and try until you find the right angle for the microphone placement, otherwise it will sound dull and muddy or wayyyyyy to sharp.
also try to vary the mic's distance. the harmonium's sound needs some room to develop its full character.
ah, note: this is for RECORDING. for live purposes DO use a sm57:)
over.

yea i agree, i've been fucking around with micing my harmonium and other reed instruments for a little while and sm57s are not the way to go for recordings, maybe even invest in a mic made for saxs or harmonicas specifically. also try micing it in a large room with half a foot distance from the opening.
