No, it's not a showerhead, it's a pewter-grill harp mic with a vintage crystal sound.
The coolest thing to happen since carbon and crystal were put with brass, wood, and wind. The Shaker
Retro Rocket is a truly beautiful harmonica microphone that's basically a no-nonsense, bullet-type Shaker mic retaining the
qualities that made the great original bullet mics so special.
The Retro Rocket harmonica mic has all the snap, crackle,
and pop that any blues/rock harp player could want. It's the real deal—a cast metal alloy body with a black crinkle
powder coat finish, and high-output crystal element. It features a solid pewter grill and an old-time, screw on connector.
It's 40% smaller than traditional bullet type mics, and is ergonomically shaped to give harp players an in your face, aggressive
tone. This is one high-output microphone with over-the-edge dynamics and a truckload of harmonic overtones. According to Retro
Rocket endorsers, this mic rejects feedback better than any other bullet mic made.
Shaker Harmonica Microphones
are part of a complex music making system, one that includes the harmonica, the player's hands, the microphone, the amp, and
the player's personal techniques. Traditional methods of measuring response and behavior become pretty much irrelevant because
Shaker's don't fit strictly into the established categories of polar patterns. By using a sampling of the harmonica's sound
and directing it through acoustic ports into a volume-tuned chamber, Shaker harp mics become, in essence, miniature hand-held
recording studios. This is known as Shaker GNS technology, or good noise sampling, resulting in great tone, extreme technique
sensitivity, and tremendous feedback. Designed and engineered by Shakey Joe, these mics are totally handmade in the US and
use as many American-made parts as possible. They're made in the Arizona desert by harp players, for harp players.
