Brass Instruments Typically Have

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 bought this last year during the pandemic, and since I typically film local brass bands, there hasn't really been an opportunity to break it out. The last couple of weeks have been the first time, and I'm thrilled. The lens feels sturdy and solid. Image quality is nice and sharp-- on a MFT it's a 15mm equivalent so it winds up being more of an ultrawide-- the distortion is there and it adds a little 'je ne sai quois' to the image, but it's not really pronounced. For my purposes it's really wonderful to be able to get in close and still fit pretty much a whole band of 15-18 performers into frame, and they love it too. I don't know how well this would work for still photography (probably great, but I don't know yet) but for video work it's excellent and at $139 a heck of a great deal! Very satisfied.

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.

Typically works very well
