At MandoHarp we really love great harp mics! Dane
at MandoHarp is a harmonica player and electrical engineer so this
was rather inevitable really. Over the coming months we'll be gradually
adding to the items available in our on-line stores. The following
lists some examples of the microphones we'll be offering for
you.
Loudbark Custom Harmonica
Microphones
Manufactured in Australia
by Loudbark. These wonderful Aussie timber
microphones can be overdriven for that Chicago blues sound
but can also be played clean and mellow if you
want a smoother straight harp sound. A mic for all
seasons! Dane Clarke at MandoHarp (harp player with The
Boogymen and The Gypsy Tarts) has
been 'loudbarking' with a Loudbark Leaf mic at every gig for
the last few months and highly recommends them. He also highly
recommends the Loudbark team, Rowan and Michelle. The most helpful
Aussie harp mic makers we've found so far.
These are just a small sample of the many
wonderful individual microphone designs Loudbark can create for you.
You can also get your own design imprinted on your microphone! You
can even choose the wood type and grain patterns you like. Contact us for more details.

About
MandoHarp instruments
All MandoHarp instruments are tracked from the
moment of their original creation or purchase. Each instrument is
assessed by an expert musician when received and again before
offering it for sale. A brief report is written and stored in our
database for each item, noting paticularly our expert assessment on
receipt, any work performed on the instrument and its final
condition.
Inspections,
trials and pickup by prior arrangement are welcome at Repton, near
Coffs Harbour on the NSW North Coast.
