A photo would be helpful.

This one? This is a Beyer M69 I think, on the cover of the limited
edition dvds (import maybe?)
But the Beyer's not "on" his harmonica holder, just next to it.

That is a very low resolution picture... extremely smeary. Looks like it
could have been a Beyer M-88, but I wouldn't put any money on it without
seeing something a lot more clear.

Are we looking at the same picture?
Even first generation lav mics from 50 years ago
were smaller than that.

I think he's asking about the two black blobs on either end of the
harmonica. I suspect they're tie-tack mics, but it's anyone's guess as
to the type. Given the time frame and Neil Young's youthful appearance
in that photo, Sony ECM-50s with the foam blast filter installed would
be a reasonable guess.

as don knots once said, "let me clarify that".
in the movie "rust never sleeps", neil young sang and played harp into two
little mics attached to his harmonica holder, it is seen throughout the
flick, and it IS a sweet sound. (and a good flick).
please guys, i'm just a gtr player who wants to sound better cuase what
iv'e got is very limited, to say the least!
thanks all

So get a couple cheap omni lavalier mikes and try it. No matter what you
pick up off the shelf today, it'll be cleaner than the typical lav mikes
of that era.

You should realize that in most films, though, the production sound has very
little to do with what you hear on the soundtrack. Even back then it was the
case.

You want to sound better playing harp?

Most film sound is not recorded at the same time as the pictures.

Try not to fall for the "monkey-see, monkey-do" syndrome. Instead, study
mic specs and find a GOOD one. Then, learn how to use it. Keep in mind,
most often it's not the mic, it's the performer!

P.S. your original question, a link to a photo would be helpful.
