i use my sony ecm77b for some string and woodwind instruments....but a tad out of your price range. superlux do a good budget mic similar sounding to the sm58, but with a tighter pickup pattern

Shure SM58 is a beast of a mic. I've had one for over a decade and it still sounds great.
+1 sm58, just ordered one monday for the kid's screamo band (rolleyes)

here's a great post that was brought up in a 57 vs. 58 thread here...
http://homerecording.com/bbs/equipme...vs-sm57-12391/
"I was a microphone engineer at Shure.
The SM57 and SM58 are essentially the same, except that the SM57 was intended mainly for instruments and the SM58 for vocals. The SM58 has a ball grille that acts as a pop filter. The two mics have the same proximity effect at the same miking distance.
Because of its smaller grille, the SM57 lets you get closer to it for more bass boost. But if you are 2 inches from the diaphragm in either mic, they have the same bass boost.
They have a slightly different response at high frequencies because of the acoustical effects of the different grilles." - Bruce Bartlett
thanks people, i will go with the sm58.
