@Brian,yes it would be ideal!
@Carl,I went to my local B&M the other day and they had sold out!Wish I'd bought a half dozen now!
Comment by Carl Robson on June 4, 2010 at 4:54am
I have several B&Ms very nearby, so will have a look in and maybe grab one and get out the screw drivers.

@ Colin - gotcha, so could quite dirty for harp playing too - I think I am nearly convinced!
Comment by Colin S on June 4, 2010 at 4:46am
I haven't tried a guitar through it but it sounds similar to the telephone mike that Hollowbelly has in his Shotgun vid when you speak through it.
Comment by MrRandomWritings (Backwater Bri) on June 4, 2010 at 4:39am
Colin - is it a distorted sound?
Comment by Colin S on June 4, 2010 at 4:36am
All the electrics,amp etc. are contained in the little red compartment where the mouthpiece is.I want to utilise the speaker and I have a box big enough so I thought I would use it 'as is'.

Carl, I looked at Maplins too but lost the plot somewhere LOL! Looks as though some good ideas are being stirred up here

On the megaphone trail - I just found this 15w thing on Amazon - looks like good value http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002S9TQPQ/ref=olp_product_detai...

I did buy a maplin Amp kit, but that Engerlund bull horn does look interesting and might go into a tobacco tin or coke can.

Hi Peter, funny I was just looking around our local electrical shop and saw some of those batteries - big buggers aren't they. I see there are a few of those radios around fairly cheap and they do have a great tone but who knows whether simply plugging in with an adaptor would be an instant solution? Found the megaphone thingie just down the road but a bit pricier than Colin got his for.... um....
