Bogdon has successfully created a small mic that fits neatly
into the same palm that also holds a harmonica. This mic is designed
to be cupped with both hands to amplify the raw overtones and
textures that naturally occur when playing the harmonica. The
Bogdon Top Hat Harmonica Microphone response is transparent which
allows the harp player to use guitar effects, powerful amplifiers,
and anything else without experiencing the usual microphone problems
and unwanted feedback. The design is radical, the appearance
is crazy, and the functionality is nothing less than amazing!
"The Bogdon Top Hat Microphone has broken live performance
barriers to provide harmonica players the same freedom of expression
that guitarists share."
The simple task of being heard remains most important within
the Blues Harpists list of desires. Being heard without hindering
a harpist performance is almost unheard of. Tonal characteristics
rely on hand positions. Creating a body of vocal tones is natural
when performing your Blues Harp without a microphone, but once
a standard microphone fills the harpist's palm-cup, there's no
room for hand wah-wah and soulful tonal desires. A harmonica
played into a mic on a stand has many comfort problems too. Cupping
a mic with your hands is a breeding ground for unwanted feedback.
Some classic microphones have their own "sound" which
adds to the sound texture of a harmonica. But that "sound"
does not offer the player his own control and tone. Many harpists
enjoy sharing the same tone with each other and it's becomes
difficult to differentiate between one harpist and another. That
scenario is not a band thing, unless the harpist seeks a unique
character in sound texture, tone, and style. Bogdon offers a
harmonica mic that doesn't change or interfere a harmonica' sound
texture and tone. The Bogdon Top Hat Mic offers the opportunity
for the harpist to control all aspects of his own personal sound
and style. The Bogdon Top Hat Mic invites the harpist to add
effects such as echo, chorus, flange, wah-wah, and the harpist
can now control the amount of fuzz and distortion by combining
a never ending combination of audio effects that were once only
available to guitarists. The Bogdon Top Hat Mic allows the harpist
to perform some songs with a clean natural tone, and then switch
to a heavily distorted rocking tone, and everything in between.
Bogdon doesn't only offer the harmonica player the ability to
be heard, but rather Bogdon offers the harpist control of his
musical instrument.
In another first, Bogdon is offering a Lifetime Warranty on
the battery. If you even think your TopHat battery needs replacement,
we will replace it at no cost + shipping & handling. |
