Hi John and Neil. Thnx for your comments. Makes me really "hapi" - especially ... because the videos of you both gave me the most inspiration to order and play this "spacy" thing :-)) Greetings from Bavaria

Well, that's kind of you, particularly in reference to my videos.

But keep posting yours for us to enjoy.

Great sound and editing! What kind of mic are you using?

[HapiNature]

... and regarding the mics and recording ... I used a Sennheiser 504 ,a SM 57 (overhead position) and a AKG C 411 inside. The main mic was the "504" under the sound-hole (I used a snare drum stand for the Hapi). I had some problems with the reverberation effected by a lot of "recording mistakes" ... but the record was never the intention ... so I had to use a lot of filter afterwards. I guess next time I will keep it more apart ... Do you have some mic tips ... especially for live performance?

Great. The sound is almost as if you were plucking it. mbira style. There's a Hapi drum group to join on Youtube
