Pencil Tin Microphone

In this video, I'm making a pencil tin microphone with 2 piezo mics. This means we can also use it as a speaker and a weird sort of filter thingy.

might be interesting on a bass guitar cab to give a bit more top end "tinny sound " texture element. maybe putting springs and or guitar strings , harmonica reads, inside to increase resonance . running drums through it , definitely a high pass filter with overtones

[@abominablemusic]

Yes, I'm thinking about 'stuff' to add to the tin, I'm actually thinking about marbles (if I can find any). Interesting bass cab idea!

[@Hoptronics]

​@@abominablemusicMaybe steel ball bearings, rubber balls, interesting..

[@abominablemusic]

@@Hoptronics all good ideas! I found some old marbles, so I'm going to try those...

I’ve actually have had a crazy idea for a while that fit this kind of experiment.
Do you know about the old “telephone” toy where you take two tin cans and put a tensioned string between them?
My idea was to put a contact microphone in both cans and use it the same way you did here.

[@abominablemusic]

Yea, in the UK, we used to do that with yoghurt pots! In principle, it should work, the sound waves should travel along the string/cord and those vibrations picked up by the contact mics. It wouldn't be 'hi-fi' but could be interesting...

Be good if we could just hear the straight mic instead of the reverb bullshit.

yeah what the hell man why did he think that was a good idea
