I put together a simple tin can mic. Nothing fancy and it did not | |
take long. I took my time so about 30 minutes. It will be | |
my mic for my harmonica. I thought about picking up one of those | |
bullet mics, but since I don't have cash for that right now and I do | |
have the parts, I figured that I would give the tin can mic a try. | |
The electrical parts are the same as the log of sound.[1] Piezo, | |
1/4" jack, and extension wire. I put these inside a Murray's pomade | |
container, which I often reuse after using up the product for my hair. | |
The container is a nice size for holding the harmonica and the mic. | |
I hope to test it out and record something with it this weekend. | |
Here are some pics: | |
