Published · Last updated
Answered by Roadie
The Shure SM57 is the best starting point among these options for instrument use under £150, at £104 new. If you specifically play harmonica, consider the Shure 520DX Green Bullet at £135 instead.
The Shure SM57 is a dynamic instrument microphone, making it the most directly relevant general instrument option in this selection. Its listed best new price of £104 puts it comfortably within a £150 budget.
