I'm reposting this because I initially labeled the title wrong.
I'm thinking I might build a mic for fun someday.
And, of course, I want to build something of high quality. I already own a 545 (dynamic), and a old ceramic mic, so I figure I should build a crystal element mic. My question: What specs make for a good crystal element? Or, really, for that matter, a ceramic element? What qualities (aside from type) determine the quality (for harmonica mic use)?
I downloaded the mouser catalog, they have mic elements out the wazoo, all for $5 and less. How to choose?
Also, I see some people talking about spending $100+ on an astatic element, and $75 for a certain 'sure' element. Are the relative high cost of these elements due to rarity?
