We allways seem to get trouble getting the harmonica mic up high enough in the mix without squealing. He uses a dedicated Harp mic the green bullet or a Hohner blues harp bullet type mic.
Any tips ?

Thinking about the people I've known/ seen who have good live harp sounds tends to be a mic into a guitar amp with reasonable headroom and then into the PA. The harp player I used to be in a band with ended up going in to the PA via a Line 6 Pod. This gave him all the control and he could add reverb,etc, himself to suit and with much less feedback than using an amp.
Experimenting with how he holds the harp- mic combination might help. The harp forums might suggest that feedback is also a result of poor harp technique - getting too many over tones, handling noise,etc, and its those that feedback rather than clear notes. Some players use a noise gate to block low level handling noise.
