Charlie Musselwhite, 6-time Grammy nominee and 23-time Blues Music (aka W.C. Handy) award winner prefers his BlowsMeAway Microphones and in-line volume controls.

Listen to Charlie while you look! Here's a live recording of Charlie playing through his BlowsMeAway wood mic and vintage volume control - using a Sonny Jr. Cruncher amplifier.
"The mic Greg made for me has everything I like, want and have to have in a mic. First of all it has great tone. Second, it is very comfortable with easy access to the volume control; the wood shell makes it very comfortable to hold. And, third, it's a great looking mic with a lot of class." Charlie Musselwhite - June 2008

Here's a video of the phenomenal Jason Ricci using his BlowsMeAway Volume Control in performance...

I have recently been using Greg's inline volume control from BlowsMeAway Productions.
I bought this product from him - it wasn't given to me so I am not obligated to write the following....
it's a great product, and it has helped my playing and band dynamics a lot! " -- Jason Ricci

"I still use the XLR control and I'm havin' a blast with it, especially like bein' able to back off
on the volume with the roll of my finger!" -- Rob Paparozzi, NJ

And here's me playin' through one of my wood mics and my volume control.....

In-Line Volume Controls

Designed by harp players for harp players, these handsome in-line volume controls give you simple and reliable volume control where you need it - at the microphone! This is useful for many reasons:

Kill feedback instantly
Optimize for vocals and harp when using the same mic for both
Adjust mid-performance for quieter harps (Low D comes to mind)
"Back off" a bit when filling behind anothers' solo or vocal.
Leave a little headroom for when the guitar player turns up (and you know he will...)
Walk over to adjust amp without feedback as you approach

These controls are precision machined, hand made and individually tested to withstand the rugged performance environment. I have made and sold hundreds of these controls. For more information, go to the Vintage Control or XLR Control page.

All controls are warranted for 1 year from date of purchase and I offer a money-back guarantee in case you're not satifisfied with the control.

Rare Wood and Custom Microphones

I make microphone shells and grills that are lighter, easier to hold and certainly more beautiful than the vintage industrial microphones they're intended to replace. They also have a wonderful warm tone and excellent feedback resistance as a result of the choice of materials. Each mic is a handcrafted work of art. Go to the Custom Mics or the Ultimate Series pages for much more information.

"I play with a BlowsMeAway Productions wood mic and it is my favorite mic! Super light, great tone and it fits in your hand WAY better than the stock mics. The coolest looks! And I love the volume control now. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this mic to anyone that is serious about playing electric harp... I'm sold on Greg's mics!" -- recording artist Andy Just

Custom Work

I also customize and repair microphones, build custom controls and adapters and repair/restore/sell vintage Kalamazoo amplifiers - the best little harp amp you'll ever find. Please click the links for more information.
