Unusual Bowed Percussion Instruments

This is a work horse mic used by every sound engineer to record any type of instruments:brass, percussion, etc.

I started out using pvc pipe but they bowed under the weight. Bought these to replace the pvc pipes and no more bends.

the E-Percussion Module Mount by Alesis is the perfect part i was looking for....

I received this lens today, and immediately mounted it on my D500 and tested it. True to it's 180 degree view, you have to take care unless you want a lot of bowed lines. However, that's one of the reasons I bought the lens. I have several wide angle lenses by Nikon and Tokina, and this one fills the ultra-wide angle niche. I opened the images in Photoshop, and examined them, and the results are excellent. The colors were nicely saturated, but not overly so. Since it's such a short focal length lens, the camera's AF doesn't have to do any searching, and the focus snapped in very nicely. I'll be using this lens for flower field pictures mostly, although the appeal of some architectural scenes with some bowed lines is also on tap. It's difficult to pack much more into a lens for the price. Earlier, I owned a couple of Sigma zoom lenses, but wasn't particularly impressed. However, this 16mm f2.8 is a real improvement.

The flash accessory with the most unusual name has to be the snoot!

Great for Vocal and Instruments!

from the beginning, a little unusual, but felt the quality and convenience!

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.
