Sound:
Surprising for such an inexpensive mic. Very good on acoustic guitar in performance setting, works well on banjo and decent on mandolin. Excellent feedback supression. I've read some many neg reviews on BG and PG mics, I was truely suprised. In a world of expensive recording microphones, performance space is overlooked. I had to ditch my recording mics live as they are just too sensitive and give me feedback hell in a live performance in a small space. It just sounded really good in the monitors and was loud and sensitive with Blugrass instruments! Electret Condensor at a dynamic mic price!

Overall:
Great performance instrument microphone at at a great price. Bluegrass Musicians, especially guitar, should consider this mic. Easy on the wallet. Recording mics can be problamatic in performance. Happy to have a couple to work with. Simplified my life considerably as we mix ourselves in performance!
