The TAP Tonal is a clever little solution for clarinet and sax players struggling with feedback or unwanted body noise. Its APT technology does a surprisingly good job of isolating the instrument's sound, and the passive design is a real convenience. Ideal for gigging musicians and students wanting a clean, amplified tone without a bulky clip-on mic.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a small clip system that allows you to quickly swap the mic between instruments; it’s surprisingly secure, but a gentle check before each set is always a good idea.
While all piezo mics have that potential, the APT technology in this TAP Tonal is designed to mitigate that 'zing' – proper placement is still key, but it's significantly improved.
While technically possible, it's highly optimized for clarinet and saxophone. You'll likely get better results using a dedicated mic for other instruments.
