I cleared as much of the access as seemingly possible. This is my first attempt at this style, so far seems everything is going well. Thanks again!

Those are tin can microphones. Inside I have a piezo wired to an output jack. They work great as a harmonica mic or as a vocal mic if you want an old timey sound.

Will most likely be another 5 weeks before my new shop is up and running. Haven't been able to build anything for the last 3 months and it's killing me. Thanks much for the kind words. Thanks Von M.

I don't keep up with posting my stuff on the nation as much as I should. I created a network for builders and players of all types of homemade instruments, the Handmade Music Clubhouse. Lots of great people, photos, videos, groups, forums and even live chat.

Prepare to be blown away...

See you there!
