String Instruments For People With Big Fingers

for those with big fingers

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.

This mic sounds very nice for vocals, plucked string instruments, and woodwind instruments (at least that's what I've tried it on). I highly recommend it!

Really fantastic big string sound in the VSL instrument family.

I'm amazed that people still get excited when the see a carbon boom. I just finished a two day concert with a string quartet and the K tek booms were the hit of the crew.

I am loving these headphones. The sound is quite neutral in terms of you hear all instruments. Some people complained about the lack of bass, but I can hear it just fine. In fact, I have never heard so much detail in each bass note before getting these cans. For the price I think you will be hard pressed to get better headphones and awesome sound quality. Diana Krall sounds amazing, as does any genre of music. I would recommend buying these headphones.

Always been a big fan of those massive 80s string sounds that couldn't be any further from the real deal. This little box definitely delivers the goods. Also, since it's a module, stacking synth sounds has never been easier. Load up a huge bass sound, add the Waldorf, and your half way there to recreating those terribly awesome sounds found on almost every 80s movie ever made. Love it. Great Jon Waldorf team. Also, killer reverb and chorus on this unit.

I carry this thing around everywhere to clean my lenses. It is really soft and it is quick to pull out and use in the field. I wish it went all the way back in when you pulled the string but it is not a big problem. Will buy another one when this one sees its last day.

Used this for vocals and it makes a really big difference in quality than just direct through an interface. Can't wait to try this on other instruments.

A great multi-purpose dynamic mic, I use this small-sized, big-sounding tool for instruments and vocals alike. It obviously excels on the snare drum and on guitar cabinets, but I like the sound I get from it on various percussion, brass and lower-toned woodwind instruments. It doesn't have the shrill high-end crispness of a condenser, but you don't always need that. Overall, it sounds clean and strong, and adeptly resists feedback.
