  • Cool harp mic brotha. I do stuff like that also. phones, headphones whatever I can get a sound from. Maybe we can exchange ideas.    Dave
  • Thanks! The mic was made with old kodak projector parts i picked up in trash some years ago. I just cut the metal tube where are the magnifier lenses and glued the parts with superglue. I put an old magnetic telephone mic , a 10k pot for volume control and a standard mono TRS jack. To finish, i cut a piece of metal grille from a wrecked old boombox front and fastened with two clamps used in stove gas installations. The knob was made by a machinist who used to work with me some years ago . The mic's output level is somewhat low, but the tone is very cool. When the time permits, I will disassemble the mic and take some pictures of the assembly process.
  • BF Tom,
    Love the harp mic. Please let the nation know how you did it.

    Cheers,
    JJ
