$4 acoustic spring reverb for blues harp!

This thing is awesome! It's called the "magic mic" (although I've seen others called "echo mic"), and it cost like $4! I bought it at the local Cost Plus/Worldmarket in the kids toy section, and I'm sure yours'll have 'em too! Have fun!

This can sound more like a train. Have you thought about modifying the toy mic with with a mounted lapel mic inside then a 1/4 jack ? I was wondering how that would work.

@thunderjagman Yeah, I've fooled around with micing it and re-housing it. I made some other videos of my results, which you can see over on my channel...

amplified...nice sounds.....my friend says you sound like a horn......

@kundalinicandy First off, thanks for the compliments! Second, yes, the spring inside vibrates when you sing or play harp into it. Hope that helps!

Looks like you were micing the harmonica. Weren't you supposed to be micing the end of the magic mic?
