very cool!
hopefully you will give us a sample of how it sounds.
did you have a reason for not including a volume control?

btw- who's the red-haired gent you beheaded?

Is it wood or metal. I'm looking at ideas for my vintage shure bullet.

Reminds me of an Easter egg painted by a Russian. (That's a good thing.)

Thanks everyone. its made out of leather. hand painted and hand carved. i wanted to make a lighter mic. those green bulets are heavy and are always giving me a lot of feedback. this one is way lighter and feedback isnt much of a problem anymore. i didnt include a volume nob because i dont like them. my hands are always rubbing them so my volume changes when i play. i also never really used them when i had one. i thought the design was cool so i went with it. ill record a video as soon as posible so you can hear how it sound.

Leather? Whoa...I think you just caused a rift in space-time continuum by introducing LEATHER as a mic shell material. I certainly have never heard of that before. How did you do it?

p.s.-Rob Halford just called and wants his codpiece back.


Seriously, that's very cool, and I want to hear how it sounds as well as how you got the leather to suit the need.

What kind of leather would allow you to form that kind of shape? I mean, when you say hand carved, did you carve a wooden body and then encase that in a leather shell?

How i made it is a process id like to keep secret for now. but its a very long process which im still improving and there's no wood or metal involved. just leather.

Ps. No cod pieces were harmed in the making of this video.

I think I have a pretty good idea as to what the process entails. Won't say it here in respect for your wishes. But wow, if it's what I think it is, then major, major, kudos and coolpoints for you my friend!

Yeah, I figured. But that's why I give you kudos. I almost never have the patience for that much trial and error. :-)
