Anybody ever used one of these and have good results? I am hoping to get a bunch of different pieces of metal, and hitting them against eachother with one of these attached to get interesting results, although I really don't know much about using one. |

Sounds like it will be fun! The options are endless when it comes to sound. I eagerly await the day you spam us. I am very curious to hear the results |

Contact microphones are actually fairly reasonable in price. At least for the kind I have. You can to buy one in the classical department of any music store. They use them to connect to instruments like flutes, saxiphones, etc to get a proper sound for studio recording and tuning. They look just like a clip, with a wire comming off of them. Mine is a pretty cheap model too. I want to get a nice one. Matmos used one when they were playing with bjork, and what they did was connect it to a birdcage, and then use a violin bow on the birdcage, and played it like a violin. It eventually had a bunch of water spilt on it, and it was ruined. They were all pissed off, cause they bought it with the money bjork paid them, and they will probly never have access to such an expensive and responsive contact microphone again. Regular contact microphones cost around ten dollars though. You can get high quality contact mics from music stores through ebay, and such. |

They also market them as tuning microphones, sometimes you have to describe them to the music store employee, cause they might not know what you are talking about when you call it a contact microphone. The employees at the store that I bought mine from didn't. |
