 clarinet barrel mics
Author: gregsquared

I posted this recently on the ethnic board, but thought I might get more responses if I re-posted it on the general board.
I really want one of those old mics that attach to your horn through a hole drilled into the barrel. They seem like a good way to mic your instrument and I really like the sound. However, I can't find any on ebay or any mention of them on clarinet sites brought up by a Google search. Where do all those Greek and Macedonian guys get theirs? Anyone have any suggestions, or a spare they'd like to sell? Thanks, gregsquared.

You may want to pose this question to the "klarinet" mailing list. Or even the italian one (CLAIR), which may induce more responses from overseas.

Could be the untapped resource that you need (in case this board doesn't come up with enough justifiable answers - plus it's free and it don't hurt to ask)

I responded to this in the Ethnic BB but I will do it here as well.

You should be able to get these from a musical instrument seller, however theses mics are old technology and most Macedonian players I know no longer use these.

There is a better mic on the market which you attach to a clip just above the barrel. It has a superoir sound quality as oposed to the ones on the barrel and you don't need to drill holes and sacrifice one of your barrels.

You should try these you will be impresed.

Good luck

Simon
