I would also recommend the Sure mics. Generally the difference between the 57 and 58 is that the 57 is considered an instrument mic and the 58 vocal. The 58 has a bigger end to protect the workings from singers that hold it really close. Otherwise they are about the same. One real advantage of these mics is that they are made to stand up to being moved from place to place and can even live through being dropped once in a while. On the other hand if you drop an expensive condenser mic it usually means a trip to the repair shop. Nancy Carlin
