Is this suitable for hand held harmonica

Hello, you can use SM57 as hand held harmonica microphone. Another option would be the popular 520DX that has a raspier, more vintage sound. Regards, Sascha from Shure

Is this a good mic for recording from a guitar amplifier?

I think it’s a great dynamic microphone for most purposes, so long as your positioning is right. If you use it to pick up output from an amp, it should be fine.

Plastic cover loose over capsule

Hi, the rotating grill was part of the original industrial design on the model 545. The design provided a reliable method to securely mount a grill to the end of the mic. The rotation was simply a "side-effect" of the mounting method. Regards, Sascha from Shure
