I have a C1 so I know the screetchy scratchiness of which I speak.

I heard a really nice acoustic guitar track recorded with a pair of the HM-1s by a young studio owner. It was a nice sound. I've got one of these Canadian mics on the way to me as we speak -- I'll let you know when it gets here.

Cheers.
