Bowed String Instrument Of The Violin Family

Really fantastic big string sound in the VSL instrument family.

Used for violin solos and string quartet recordings with XY stereo technique, connected to Zoom H6 so far. Base noise is low, and high frequency pick up is impressive. For the price, it is a great deal. Highly recommended.

I use these mics on my grand piano, my guitar, and my violin. I would definitely recommend them as an instrument mic pair.

Dust cover, stretchy material, pull string to tighten around instrument base. Plenty of slack to fit just about any keyboard 49-61 keys.

I used it to mic violin performances.

I started out using pvc pipe but they bowed under the weight. Bought these to replace the pvc pipes and no more bends.

It is very easy to use and it is very accurate. It turned my violin extremely well and easily.

I received this lens today, and immediately mounted it on my D500 and tested it. True to it's 180 degree view, you have to take care unless you want a lot of bowed lines. However, that's one of the reasons I bought the lens. I have several wide angle lenses by Nikon and Tokina, and this one fills the ultra-wide angle niche. I opened the images in Photoshop, and examined them, and the results are excellent. The colors were nicely saturated, but not overly so. Since it's such a short focal length lens, the camera's AF doesn't have to do any searching, and the focus snapped in very nicely. I'll be using this lens for flower field pictures mostly, although the appeal of some architectural scenes with some bowed lines is also on tap. It's difficult to pack much more into a lens for the price. Earlier, I owned a couple of Sigma zoom lenses, but wasn't particularly impressed. However, this 16mm f2.8 is a real improvement.

A quick way to not string cables across the stage.

Can’t beat this little instrument for the money!
