Best Brands For Brass Instruments

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.

Best quality. Much better than dupes or off brands.

Best tv that I bought with many features that other brands cant do

B&W filters generally have brass rings, unlike the aluminum for other brands, and spin on more smoothly. Optically excellent.

After decades of trying other brands of filters - a number of other top-name brands included - I've settled on B W because they consistently get both parts of the filter right: The optical part and the physical mount part. The XS-Pro line has great coatings and glass as well as brass mounts that don't bind in the lens threads. That's a problem experienced with other filters, even other big- name filters that use anodized aluminum instead of brass for mounts. And B&H is the only place I'll buy B W filters since some very, very large non-photo-specialist retailers have had defective counterfeit filters branded as B W.

This is a nicely machined piece of brass. I've had other brands where I've had to re-thread the product before I could use them, a royal pain. The Manfrotto 013 didn't have that problem and I think worth the extra cost.

I love how well made these filters with brass rings are while not being really much more expensive than other brands. Very easy to clean with the nano coatings and offering a nice layer of protection. I shoot a lot outdoors in dusty gritty environments and I really do not like to risk polishing my lens' front element.

This brass ring is well made and the price was more reasonable than other brands. I am told that a ring made from brass will have less chance of thread seizing than an aluminum ring.
