check this out. If you want to be in your own Konono/Congotronics tribute band check out how to make your own electric thumb piano. Seems not to hard to do and you can play some mean distorted riddims on it.

Wow, there's some crazy oscillation in that video which makes the piano sound like some sort of middle eastern synth-tar. The best part is definitely the faux leopard fur though.

This is a pretty cool article if you're interested in taking a look, DIY guys. Many people talk about building their own pre's but not their own mics. This article explains how to build a condenser mic powered by a 9V battery so you can take it anywhere, phantom power or not. I have not built one but they are supposed to be extremely easy. If you don't gleam any technical information from this at least it might send you off dreaming about what type of gear you could build on your own. Happy Soldering!
