MAKE: Blog: Build an I-mic

Build an I-mic

I-Mic
Michael writes - "I remember building this impressive microphone myself a few years back. A great low-cost harmonica microphone built from secondhand stuff anyone can find in their local supermarket plus a few components that can be found in any electronics shop. At the worst the parts should cost around $8." - Link.

I just found your blog and wanted to point out that I've revived a gallery of i-mics which is much more varied than the one mentioned here on my Harmonica Ramblings blog at http://harmonica.typepad.com.

In the i-mic section, there's also an excellent flash animated DIY guide for the i-mic.

Thanks for spreading the good tips !
