[Harp-L] Introduction and mic gaskets for sale

[Tim Dougherty <timd@xxxxxxx>]

Hello list,

I've been lurking for a while, and have responded to a few posts.  A few 
years ago when things weren't so hectic, I was a member of HOOT (the 
Harmonica Organization of Texas), and a harp-l subscriber.

A while back, I got interested in customizing my own harmonica microphones, 
and quickly found that there was no ready source for the gaskets to mate 
the elements with the shells.  After a dozen unsuccessful trips to the 
hardware store, I decided to create my own out of urethane rubber.  They 
turned out so nice, that I thought others would be interested.  I've sold 
quite a few on ebay recently, and no doubt I've met a few of you.  Some of 
my recent clients include such notable mic builders as Dave Kott, Tom 
Ellis, Keith Graham, Joe Flynn, and Don McKenna.  Everybody seems to be 
quite happy with them.  I have gaskets to fit most of the common mics and 
elements, including JT-30s, Bullets, and others, in combination with both 
crystal and magnetic elements.  I also offer custom gaskets when possible.

I have put a little website up, www.harpmicgaskets.com, where you can see 
all the various types of gaskets I've created.  I welcome any comments or 
questions you may have.

I don't intend on crashing the party here with frequent sales pitches.  I 
just wanted to let you all know I'm here.

Kind regards,
Tim
