Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

I will be playing in an outside garden situation soon and I need to possibly amplifiy the shakuhachi.  I won't be doing this very often in the foreseeable future so I would hate to spend a lot of money buying a "system" for this.  Has anyone had any success with any small portable system which is inexpensive and has an earset style microphone.  I have found affordable earset microphones but all of them require a wireless sytem for phantom power.  If anyone has any advice on this I would be most appreciative. 

Thanks,
Brian

Brian,

I don't think you're gonna find much/anything in the very cheap zone, but try the links on this page (forum search for 'shakuhachi microphone').

Seems to me you're going to need some sort of matching box, with or without phantom power, no matter what sort of mic you use.

You could probably use one of your amps, on its cleanest setting.

Hope this helps.

Brian,

If college has taught me anything - it hasn't, you're looking for a dynamic "moving coil" lavaliere microphone (dynamic does not require phantom power, unlike a condensor micrphone) and depending on it's physical output, something like a TA4F to 1/4" (or XLR) connector and just plug that into your amp. I'm not well versed on dynamic wired lavalieres and wonder about the response, you'd probalby want a unidirectional, not a cardioid polar pattern.

You may not even need the adaptor if the physical output is a 1/4" or XLR, but most have the mini xlr (TA4F; actually make sure you know which it is, could be TA3F-Ta5F, so you'd need the corresponding adaptor, the model shown is TA4F)

Here's an example:

And the cable to your amp, monitors, mixer, etc.

Let me know if you have any more questions. I tend to confuse even myself.

Hey brian....

Don't you OWN a company that makes amps?  I'm sure that you could rig up SOMETHING..   LOL

An acoustic amp usually has an XLR input on it.....some companies  (like Roland/boss)  have one with Phantom power as well.

besides i'm sure that there's more than one person on here who might be interested in purchasing one....  hint hint...

who knows.....it might pay for itself....

Clean channel?--harp amps?

Are you being rude intentionally?

hi Brian, i got a great setup for my live shakuhachi performances. I can be the Laudest guy in the band;-)

Toys are always cool. I would recomend this one http://www.tc-helicon.com/voicetonecreate.asp 
Its cheap too. easy to carry. it has phantom power also.

You might want to check out this amp. It is very flexible and sounds good in a variety of uses. I have run my electric banjo Direct in, acoustic electric guitar Direct in, and my electric when I go through my POD XTL if I want to jam and not use my regular stage amps and cabs, as well as used it as a small mono PA system.

I have been using Carvin amps for years, and they are great!

Thanks Dust. I had seen that but I was looking for a mic that wasn't quite $500 without the wireless included.  I am sure it is awesome but not very inexpensive.  I may end up with one anyway but....

Can anyone provide me a link for the E6 hardwired for $200?
