Olle Sjostrom Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 http://www.frontandcentermics.com/bullet-mic-gallery.html Actually not that easily googled! Took a few tries Mics for harmonica players I guess. Cool as can be. Quote
Jim Feeley Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Wow. A neighbor tunes harmonicas. I'm going to send him this link. Thanks Rachel and Olle. And I'm not sure about this, but it looks kinda cool: http://www.frontandcentermics.com/store/p25/G-Rig_and_Available_Options.html Quote

Rick Reineke Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 Likely has the guts of the Shure 520 'Green Bullet', the favorite mic for most R&B harp players. Nice looking for sure. Quote

Nice looking for sure. Looks like from green-bullet competitors/alternatives like Turner (though admittedly, I don't know a whole heck of a lot about these mics). But here's a line from the Front and Center Mics site: "You may choose from two types of elements; NOS crystal circa 1980's (USA) or the NOS Turner ceramic circa 1960's (USA)" So my harmonica-modding friend (who's also a badass player...and a sound designer and composer for games) liked the site Rachel shared and then sent this link to Greg Heumann's site. He's apparently a big deal in the custom-harp mic world. He'll do stuff like wood body and custom grills. Like this one for Rod Piazza (RP): And many many more. Dig it: http://www.blowsmeaway.com/custommics.html (Rachel, hope this feels like an extension of your thread and not a hijacking --jim) What a world! Quote
new mexico Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 Rachel, Jim, et al - Ya'll got me curious ... (Just thought I'd share.) Published on Apr 14, 2013 Håkan "Hawk" Ehn plays Hohner Marine Band DeLuxe harmonica in A through a wood microphone made by Greg Heumann. Microphone connected into vacuum tube preamplifier BEHRINGER Tube Ultragain MIC200 connected into DIGITECH Vocal 300 multieffects pedal connected into BOSS BR-1200CD digital recording equipment. Reverb, delay and bass & drums tracks was created in BOSS BR-1200CD. No guitar amp was used. Colour me impressed. Quote
