Yeah - I've managed to pick up a few different Chinese
manufactured mics from SE Electronics - very well priced.

Currently considering the Nady ribbon mic, get 'em now!  With
the recent decoupling of the Chinese currency from the
American dollar, I suspect those prices will be going up.

A friend of mine just returned from China, after spending a
couple years there.  He managed to start a little business by
manufacturing hemp-products.  Cheap labor and factories - he
managed to become a bit of an industrialist.

...now, if someone started a Mellotron factory in China...
