I use the rubber sleeve off of one of those dreadful old Hohner harp
mikes (I am sure they do not make them any more do they, Thorsten?).

The lapel mike fits beautifully inside it and it provides a tight seal
around the (diatonic) harp when gripped inside of a rack. Use your amp
or multieffects unit to get amplified sound if that is what you desire.
The high quality sound achieved makes up for those years of enduring the
sound of that awful mike which was originally inside the sleeve. When I
pulled it apart in frustration one night I found it consisted of little
more than two pieces of silver foil!!
