Types Of Large Brass 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.

B & H Optical is a legendary source for many types of cameras and fine instruments. I did not order anything elaborate this time, but I am confident in the quality of my item. I lived around the corner from them in Manhattan and loved visiting the store for my wish list! B & H ships quickly. Their items are properly packed. This is a reliable, knowledgeable source for fine optical equipment!

Large cartridge printers are more economical than the small cartridge types. I recommend buying a large format printer.

If you have read the specs you already know that this case is heavy and very large. This may make it unwieldy for some people to handle, even when empty, but once it is on the wheels it is easy to move about. The large interior size makes this case very versatile. Large items such as long benchrest rifles with expensive optics, surveying instruments and bulky camera equipment, as well as musical instruments, can be safely transported. I can fit an alto sax, a tenor sax, a laptop, some electrical equipment, and some literature in my case with ease. The saxes ride in their own cases within the 1770. The foam can be configured to hold a large number of smaller items such as cameras, iPads etc. It is easier to keep track of one large case at the airport than it is to do so for multiple dedicated cases. The latches are very sturdy, and the provision for locks seems to be robust. It would be nice if the case had a side handle, for that would make it easier to one person to carry the case over rough ground where the wheels would not function well or could be damaged. I am very pleased with my 1770.

I bought two of these packages so I would have the two medium condenser mics along with some other medium and large condenser mics for up close recording of individual instruments and use the two pencil mics to capture the stereo image from back in the audience. These two mics in this package do not disappoint -- the aural quality and clarity is great and considering the price they are phenomenal.

Handy in for all types of photography and also serves as good handle for your large lens!

This umbrella comes in three types: White, silver and translucent ... there is no other large modifier that is as easy to transport or set-up, so it is great for location work. When combined with the inexpensive accessory Westcott sock, this umbrella is a highly versatile and convient alternative to a big Octabox. I've used two of them with diffusion socks to light large class photos for school pics, and a single one with a battery powered strobe for wedding groups. When placed close to a portrait subject it delivers soft wrap-around light that flatters the subject.. Unlike conventional, shoot through large modifiers, this is a shoot into modifier that allows you to slide the light in and out to alter the focus of the light ... unlike an octabox, you cannot add a cloth grid to control spill as well.

When the brass, woodwind and large percussion orchestra filled the 600 seat auditorium with raucous music for Honegger's King David, the speaking parts within our 100 member community chorus didn't stand a chance of being heard. All our funds had been spent on orchestra and soloists. But the hall had a sound system, and I had a guiet old field mixer. I also had experience with a predecessor of the OLM-10. I took a chance and ordered six. For less than $150, they delivered excellent sound from voices among the singers. The omnidirectional pattern made for evenness with untrained performers. Their self-powering and 20' cords made hook-up very easy. Congratulations Pearstone!

These are brass rings without knurling. In such large sizes it's not hard to grip the rings. These rings have heft to them, the quality is notable.
