Antique Brass Instruments

I recently purchased this in brass finish to complement the antique finishes in our 1900s bungalow, and I have to say I'm impressed after mounting it with a matching metal plate to conceal an old junction box. I paired it with a Honeywell R8845U relay to control our millivolt gas stove after its remote stopped working (no one could ever figure out how it worked anyway). These thermostats are a known quantity at this point, having released in late 2015. But don't let that fool you; the design is timeless, it is satisfying to use, well supported, and our needs from a smart thermostat haven't changed since. I always recommend these and have probably installed about a dozen in homes among my friends and family. Combined with great holiday markdowns, utility rebates, thoughtful safety integrations with Nest Protect smoke/monoxide detectors, learning functions relaxing the temp when we step out, and remote temperature sensors for unevenly heated spaces, our home stays comfortable, efficient, and is easily monitored remotely. I am aware these device costs add up, but the benefits were worth it to us as we spend a fair amount of time traveling and prefer to know exactly what is going on with our home. It is hard to overstate the cool factor of preheating our home when we are on the final stretch driving back in the winter. I do wish the Nest Protects would feed temperature information back to help account for room-by-room variances in an older home, but that may be beyond the typical user's interest.

This is a work horse mic used by every sound engineer to record any type of instruments:brass, percussion, etc.

I use this mic to record string and wind (brass mostly) instruments.  The different patterns make it effective in a variety of spaces depending on whether you want to reject other sounds or include reflections.  Versatile and great sound quality.

Replacing an antique that died. A perfect substitution.

Great for Vocal and Instruments!

brass works!

I like the brass construction.

Great replacement lamp for all of our instruments.

Haven't used them yet , but am sure they will securely hold my instruments down .

What else can be said about the 57? Instruments, vocals, everything.
