I’ve been falling in love with the Pipe after hearing an amazing demo at Roma Modulare, courtesy of the very capable and musical Glenn.
I’ve been lucky enough to find a used Pipe, which is expected to hit my door within this week and i was wondering if it’s advised buying a new mic for hygienic reasons. Have no idea how much of a contact is happening.
thank you,

Hi Luca,
It’s impossible to say how the previous owner used his Pipe, with heavy intense use some saliva can definitely enter the mic. Whether this poses a health issue again depends on the previous user. Most likely there is no health risk, as saliva dries and bacteria die after a while. You can use alcohol wipes to wipe the exterior.
New mics cost 30 EUR plus shipping and VAT, and can be ordered directly from somasynthsEU@gmail.com
thank you, this is what I suppose. I will evaluate the situation better once the Pipe will be in my hands.
Will probably take the chance to buy some alternative mics.
all the best
