This mic is designed to capture and amplify the true tone of the harmonica. The Strnad Harmonica Pick-up is the first to truly funnel all sound directly to the cartridge, eliminating the problems found with open face mikes. The Strnad mic slides on to almost all 10 hole diatonic harmonicas, to produce sound equally, over all octaves and notes with uniform volume. The Strnad is light weight and easy to hold. Made of hi-impact LEXAN finished in instrument black, it has a high quality dynamic cartridge to insure professional sound. Feed-back problems are greatly reduced because of the Strnad's "total harmonica sound trapping" design. Can be used with high or low impedance amps. Comes with a 10' cable that has a 1/4' jack on end and attaches directly into the mic on the other. The Strnad features a built-in “port” for palm or finger manipulation to produce tremolo, muted or “wah-wah” effects. Guitar players who play harmonica from a neck rack love the Strnad because it provides consistent volume production while allowing freedom of movement. Since the unit accepts fuzz, wah-wah, reverb, vibrato, and numerous sound effect accessories, there is an unlimited versatility in sound reproduction of the instrument. A "Finger-Tip" volume knob allows the player to control his volume without returning to his amp for adjustments. Many special effects can be made with a little imagination. The unit can be set down without fear of squeal. All Strnad Harmonica Pick-Ups can be used with many guitar gimmicks such as chorus and distortion.
