Fat Bottom Harp Mics
Due to multiple options and different individual harp players tastes, please contact me using
the "Build a Harp Mic form" below. It is my best attempt to get the most detail about the
custom mic build of your choice before giving you a quote. If there isn't a sufficient amount
of detail below, I will write you back and ask more specific questions.

In each titled category, please try to fill in at least one option even if it doesn't pertain to
your mic build, as it will help me to know what you need and don't need in your build.

With the information provided below, I will do my absolute best to help you make a
informative decision based on my past experience, and your specific ideas for your custom
mic build. Working together we can better fulfill your desire for a top of the line Custom
Harmonica Microphone tailored specifically for you, by
Fat Bottom Mic's
