Would the Shure "donut", for the SM57, work well on a M88?
My local dealer would have to order one BTW.
(none in stock)

Thanks
Chris

Audio-Technica AT8415 works well on M88s (and lots of other mics.)

Either of A-T's reasonably priced mounts, the clip one or the crossed
rubberbands one, will work fine with an M88 and many other mics.

The shock mounts that come with the Groove Tubes GT-33 and GT-44 (now
distributed by M-Audio) do a great job on larger-barrel microphones like the
M88. They can be purchased separately.

Peace,

Hey, good call, I was about to build a shockmount for my Rode NT4...

The AT8415 will even hold a 421.

It will hold a 421, but the fit is so tight that I doubt it would be
terribly effective at shock dispersal.
