My self-built harmonica-mic test

First test of my self-built harmonica-mic, int contains an old bicycle-lamp, a beercan and a mic of a very old phone. A Hohner Blues Harp in the key of A was used. It's just only a test, so there are some missing notes and rythm mistakes in the song. :)

I really like the microphone!

And the version of Stone Fox!!

[zolkowski]

The idea of the solo was taken from one of your videos, you have such great versions of this song. :)

Dirty tone :-). Sounds very good and hot. It's plugged to a computer? I think it would be even better with an nice amp. Playing is also fine :-). Great test!

[zolkowski]

Thanks. :) Yes, now it's plugged into a PC, later I want to use it with an amp, so it needs some more development.

hey how did you get that distortion?? is that just because you are using an old telephone mic? and what kind of chord did you use, just a reagular 1/4 inch? THANKS!

This mic sounds awesome! I have a 1960s phone I want to make one from but just getting confused, is it the part from the ear piece or the mouth piece of the phone to make the mic? Also did you wire it into a jack socket? If so does it have to be mono or stereo? Cheers!
