Brass Band Second Line 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.

I really like the Sensei Pro line. Not inexpensive, but brass really is superior to aluminum.

Second one of these straps I've bought, they are excellent. I have a neck injury so the neoprene neck band is very comfortable. The curved shape and padding make it more comfortable than other straps I've seen or tried.

Sounds great for vocals, but you can use them in a lot of different things, I even use the for violins in a mariachi band. Also for brass.

I bought my first unit just for my studio audio components-- my audio interfaces, effects boxes, and instruments. The line noise is greatly reduced- no hiss! I believe I will be buying further units for my computers and hard drives.

This ring is solid brass, very stout! I had a B&W step-up ring (constructed of aluminum) which got bent somewhere along the line. I had to hand-hold my polarizer on a trip to Switzerland, but I have no doubt that this one will last forever. Expensive, but cheaper in the long run.

I use top-of-the-line filters on all of my Canon L Series lenses. I use L Series lenses because I need the clarity and sharpness, so I also insist on high-quality filters that do not degrade the resolution that the lenses capture. One more thing: the brass threads are the only ones I've found that don't stick. Less expensive filters (not brass, usually aluminum)can sometimes be nearly impossible to take off the lens.

Use this filter on a Nikon 50mm F1.8 lens. This is my first B+W filter. Love the brass ring. No image issues on a D750. Quality of consturcion is excellent. Will see how it cleans as I use it over the next month. I always bought top of the line or one below top of the line Hoya filters. Really like the brass ring.

Second one I have, and I am sure it will not disappoint me.
