Mandolin Microphone

Greetings all,

I just started a bluegrass band in fort collins called Blue Grama. We play great when we are acoustic but once we mic everyone and send it through the PA things fall apart.

We don’t have a lot of money to invest in new gear but I thought I would buy my own mic for my mandolin. Does anyone have any suggestions or know some one in FC that could help with sound in trade for beer.

Thanks

Ian
