El señor Yoshimoto y sus micrófonos raros misteriosos! Greetings

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

No kidding. My collection of Frankenstein mics now looks like the Island of Dr Moreau.

Did you build it, was it fun to build

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

I absolutely did. And it was fun!

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff That is so cool, I'd love to try it, just to get a better understanding of microphones

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

@@maxhammer4067 You have it backwards. This is an advanced intermediate level project. You should have a better understanding of microphones before you attempt this project. If you have previous Mic DIY experience, you'll have a much, much easier time with it. It's not a kit and there is no build guide.
