Demo of my hand made tobacco tin mic. Great for harp playing and pretty cool item. Check out the bowler hat too!

  • I've watched this video a few times now, it sounds so good, could i ask, is it hard to make one? i've got a good mate whom plays the harmonica and this would be an ideal thing to make for him. thanks, Joe

  • No, very easy. Just need to get hold of an old telephone earpiece. drill soem holes and glue the earpiece in. Wire it to a 1/4 inch jack socket and Bob's your uncle.

  • Hi buddy its joe hartly here, you said an ear piece, do you mean mouthpiece?

  • No Joe, most telephone earpieces will work both ways - transmit and receive. The mouthpieces don't seem to work well with an amp but the earpieces make quite good mics. This is one from a 60s/70s old style phone. Looks like a small metal can with holes in it. Just drops into the handset.

  • My boyfriend wants one! Where can I get the instructions to make it?

  • They are in my head! P.M. me and I'll try to explain
