We have chosen to make use of certain props in order to make our performance more realistic and effective.Props: - The ’Old-fashioned’ Microphone - The Microphone Stand

These props are also essential for our ancillaries, as they provide another recognizable and distinct feature for our artist which will further establish our entire promotional package.

It is very affordable and will be eligible for a quick delivery.
