What’s better than making your own music? Making your own music, on instruments you also made yourself!

Randy Sarafan posted a tutorial on how to make a stereo microphone from scratch over at instructables.com, along with an easy step-by-step guide and pictures! Found via the Make Blog.

It has come time for me to update my home recording studio to continue recording my own brand of intergalactic low-fi, disco, funk, folk rock. Rather than spend big bucks on a stereo mic setup that won’t offer me the low quality sound that I am accustomed to, I have decided to build my own for next to nothing almost entirely out of found parts. Now I can get awesome panning effects that can easily be mimicked in software, but never truly replicated.
