Here’s what I’m talking about. This is the diaphragm in front of the mike in a Hammond Pro44H:

And here’s the different diaphragm in a Pro44HP:

I don’t know what to make of such a different design between the two models…
In any case, it turns out the casing elements from the two models are interchangeable, so I tried and swapped the microphone parts between the two, and it worked:

It looks like, in my case, it’s definitely a mike capsule problem, because now it works well…
