  • A Fisher Price toy phonograph has a contact microphone attached to its music box movement stylus.
    The contact microphone is connected to channel one of the Koma Elektronik field kit.
    The DIY cassette tape delay playback unit is connected to channel two of the field kit.
    The Koma field kits aux output is connected to the microphone input of the DIY cassette tape delay's record unit. This makes it possible to do frippertronic-style tape looping with the DIY cassette tape delay.
    The output jack of the DIY tape delay's record unit is connected to the microphone input of a Sony cassette stereo recorder.
    There is a Library of Congress cassette tape player plugged into Channel three of the Koma field kit.
    The Wurlitzer model 145 electric piano is connected to the aux input of the Akai MD370 reel-to-reel recorder. The reel-to-reel has a tape loop threaded onto it.
    The homemade electric lap steel guitar is being played through a Behringer Super fuzz and a homemade wah pedal.
    The Koma field kit, Akai reel-to-reel recorder and electric lap steel guitar are connected to a Peavey Unity 1000 eight-channel mixer.
    The Peavey mixer is feeding an Altec-Lansing 1568A tube monobloc amplifier connected to an Altec-Lansing 15" speaker.

    Utterly original - that homemade lap steel guitar put a huge smile on my face. Your channel is sheer joy! Childlike wonder and curiosity - very inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

      You're welcome, my pleasure. Thank you for watching. I've tried a lot of "store bought" lap steels but I always come back to the homemade one.

      Thank you very much. I think the wah-wah pedal I am using is very helpful in achieving a horn-like quality to the sound.

    If Soaringtortoise did a mic drop. BOOM, slams it down the feedback leads to a drone. He adds batteries, toys, tapes, spinning speakers. Goes on for 3 encores.

      Thank you very much. I do perform live wherever they will have me. Sadly, not many places in Southwest Wisconsin cater to this type of music. I think most of the people who appreciate this kind of music live, as you do, very far away from me.

      It is just a loop of tape spooling around a microphone stand.
