Locations Written on This Can (brewery location)

Hand-assembled lo-fi microphone made from a solid steel beer can produced in the 1950s and used for over 70 years in the Boeing Supersonic Wind Tunnel, helping absorb shocking cold to regulate the temperature of the electronics during 3,000 mph wind tests of model Boeing civilian and military aircraft (read the history).

1/4 inch output jack allows for connection to mixers, amps, pedalboards, and more. 

Naturally capture recordings and perform live without the need for effects to get that vintage sound. A piezo disc element has been used and affixed in a way that the entire can picks up sound vibrations.

Mic stand attachment has been added to the can for you to easily screw the can directly onto the mic stand itself.
