www.BlowsMeAway.com The Heumann Element is the ONLY element ever developed specifically for harp. It is made from a modern vocal mic element to which I make both mechanical and electrical modifications. It has big, fat tone with plenty of bass. Rugged, reliable and economical.

The tone of the new “The Heumann Element” is fantasc. Just what I was looking for. It reminds me of a really warm ceramic element with tons of bass, warm tone and nice break up.” Ronnie Shellist For these elements: And these shells:

"The Ulmate 58 and the Ulmate 57 are fantascally great mics for the chromac and diatonic harp playing I'm doing now. The volume control expands the universe of the dynamic tonal possibilies for my sound, whether direct to the PA or fed to an amp, hand held or free standing. Greg's design and workmanship are cool and solid, inslling confidence. I love playing through these mics and discovering how much difference they make to how I play and sound. At last, these long loved great Shure mics can now truly become part of the harp, both physically in my hands and sonically. I highly recommend these mics. Greg is totally professional and delivers the goods!" He's played over 10,000 gigs over some 45 years, working with a Who’s Who of the : Luther Allison, Ben E. King, James Coon, , Barrelhouse Chuck, , Tab Benoit, , Mel Ford…. The list goes on an on. Awesome soul and tone.

"I just received my new mic from Greg and upon opening the box I was... well... Blown Away! It was absolutely drop dead gorgeous, a real knock out, a true art piece! but, how does it sound? Let me just say, it sounds as good as it looks! It feels great in the hands and that volume knob, oh my!! Why are you reading this? Go order yours NOW!" Nic Clark is the up-and- comingest up-and-comer in the blues harp world. Young Nic has studied the blues and it shows in his deeply soulful playing and his huge tone!

“To me, this is the only mic worth owning. A lot of people praise vintage gear and swear by it. Greg has not only captured the soulfulness and air that vintage microphones have, but his new "Heumann element" has brought out something fully rounded and sasfying to amplified harmonica. My beauful wooden mic from BlowsMeAway Producons gives me plenty of space and tones to create the perfect warm/creamy sound that I love. Most microphones give you just one thing to work with (Volume, Crunch, etc.) But I have found that Greg's products tend to give you a lile of everything, and all in the right places. Anyone who buys a mic from Greg will be more then happy with their purchase. I am!"” Ronnie is a Hohner endorsee out of Denver, CO. Ronnie is a great player and teacher. He is also an early adopter of the new "The Heumann Element.”

“Greg took the me to listen carefully to my needs, kept me posted all along the way with his progress, and delivered the most beauful bullet mic that I've ever played. It sounds every bit as good as it looks which is saying a lot! The stealth volume control is also amazing. There is no substute out there for the work that he is doing. The tone of his new "The Heumann Element" is fantasc. Just what I was looking for. It reminds me of a really warm ceramic element with tons of bass, warm tone and nice break up.” Jackson along with his sister/vocalist Arleigh started the band “Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds” in 2008. In the years since, the group has performed more than 600 shows, released two full- length albums and an EP produced by Randy Jackson (American Idol), and enchanted tastemakers ranging from The Wall Street Journal and LA Times to Glamour, USA Today, and The New Yorker. "First off, Greg Heumann is a consummate professional, and a pleasure to work with. I love these mics so much, I use two on stage! I use a few FX pedals extensively (I play all the organ and clavinet type sounds in my band), and the volume control enables me to match my affected level with my straight amped level (which our sound engineer is also very happy about). The biggest difference, though, is the huge, beastly tone this mic delivers! It overdrives my amp in the best possible way! I use the Ulmate 545 with an Airline 77 wireless system also from BlowsMeAway. The compact size and stage maneuverability is amazing. All of these factors together make it the best mic I have ever had the pleasure of playing!.” BlowsMeAway is the world leader in amplified harmonica equipment, accessories and knowledge. • Custom Wood microphones • Ultimate Series microphones • Wireless Systems • Volume controls, adapters, cables • The Bulletizer • Kalamazoo amplifiers • Elements, gaskets and other mic building components • Repairs and modifications
