That is very cool. What are those small mics used for?

 

[mayfly]

The owner says he uses them as drum overheads.  Seemed to work well enough as just general mics though...

Drummers tend to be an odd bunch.

Nice work Trevor! and a small nit-pic, is that "kapton" tape? I've used that in a few applications over the years and the color matches, I've never seen a flavor of PTFE with that color.

You play the harmonica too!

 

[mayfly]

Yup!  The secret to harmonica, especially blues harmonica, is the best notes are the *suck* notes.  If you know what I mean...

 

[TBurst Std]

Harmonica, the only instrument that asks the sound guy to turn up the suck dial

Thanks guys!  The videos are fun, but also was helpful in this case for my customer to justify a refund from the Reverb seller.
