Since that is a coupling cap, I would say that reducing the value will cut even more lows that it already does.
As far as coupling caps go, that is a pretty low value to begin with.

What are you trying to do?

I was thinking about swapping the ceramic for a silver mica and only had a 390pf on hand, seems as though lowering that value is not a good move.

If you want to hear the effect of the change from ceramic to mica, you'll need to closely match the cap value.

Ange do you have a meter that will measure that low?

Caps rarely measure what they are said to be.
