Does anybody here have any experience with Tsunami chromatic harmonica microphone? How does it sound: clean/dirty, bassy/trebly, etc? Does it feedback easily? Other pros and cons?
I have started playing chrom (Hohner 270 Deluxe) in April this year and play now 2-3 easy songs in a gig with it (I play mostly diatonic, been playing harp 40 years). It is quite difficult for me to hold my Beyerdynamic M88 mic with a chromatic harp, because I have two fingers missing in my left hand (little finger and ring finger). That is why i am looking for a mic that could be attached to the chromatic harmonica. I have tried a small condenser mic (Microvox), but it did not work for me because of the missing fingers.
I have also read about a chromatic harmonica mic developed by Dror Adler of Adler Trio and another one is Beamforming chromatic harmonica mic developed in India. They both attach in the harmonica, but they are a bit too expensive for me right now and they are also hard to find to buy. Is there any other usable cheaper solution like a Tsunami mic?

There's also a slide-on mic that Danny G at newharmonica.com was showing at the SPAH convention. Haven't tried it, but it's another possibility. (That said, I just checked the website and it's not up there, but you might get in touch and ask about it.)
The beam forming mic from India sounds fantastic - it was used by Ashay Kumar, one of the youth scholars; his dad designed the mic and you can hear it in use on his YouTube channel. But yeah, it's way expensive.

The Tsunami is the reincarnation of the Strnad mic, which I tried back in the 1990s. It had a very clear, relatively uncolored sound. The Strnad brothers aged out and a new guy started producing the design under the Tsunami name a few years ago. I haven't trie the new version and don't know how similar its sound is to the original.
