Folk Band Instruments

I use a mic stand with a boom for performing folk/country music with a band and solo. I have used many cheap stands in the past, and there are always issues with them. This stand and boom are very high quality and appear to be built to last. The boom is the perfect size and telescopes in to a very short length for transport. So far, I have not seen anything negative about this boom.

I use this mic in omnidirectional mode for group recordings with a small folk band. It's great as a reference recorder during rehearsals and helps us learn to play dynamically. It's also super for vocals (in cardiod mode). Very crisp. I personally like the frequency response but it's still yet to be tested with multiple vocalists. I wish it had a hard case - it only comes with a padded zipper bag that's not quite large enough to fit both the mic and shockmount in.

For jazz, electronic, folk and funk this speaker ROCKS!!!

I video an 8 hour Folk Festival- not having to change the battery is a great help.

Great for Vocal and Instruments!

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.

Am using it to transport a large folk harp, and it is excellent for the job (as I suppose it would be for most jobs). Am very impressed with how well built it is - that really stood out over and over - seems to be very sturdy and well made. Is not unusually heavy, but is heavier than if all thin aluminium (the heavier metal also adds to its strength - a real plus).

I am half way through editing the first serious test of this lens, 2000+ images at our state folk festival. This lens performed better than I expected and made my job that much easier. The pictures look great and I have a higher yield of good images than I ever have, which has the wonderful problem of making it harder to pick my best.
