Im sure the default mic on my laptop probably sucks and I notice my teacher straining a bit to hear so what's the best under $100 Windows USB mic for tuba?

Thanks - Bill

Thanks to all who chimed in on my New/old tubist needs advice thread with great posts that helped me to select a Tuba. I found an excellent 1969 Mirafone BBb with the original case for less that $4k on eBay, the seller happened to live less than an hour drive away and all it needed was new cork which I was able to replace myself for a couple of dollars.

I'm not sure about a BBb, but for an F or Eb, the Snowball works fine. c $60-$90 depending on the model.

I have been giving Skype lessons for a while now, and I think the biggest problems are slow internet speed and if a trumpet or trombone is playing directly into the computer's mic so it distorts and cuts out. When everything else is good, the sound quality is completely acceptable. I don't think the mic is much of a problem.

Maybe other people have different experiences.

I wouldn't stand it it that it's the best, but this one is more than adequate and not expensive.
