I third the compliment about the wee sample of your uke, i quite honestly never thought of it as an instrument that was so delicate and emotional sounding, a really beautiful sound. lI always think of George Formby and “cleaning windows” when the ukele is mentioned.

Back to gadgets – this mike might be ideal for good quality recordings of lectures at universitys / research symposia. Did you notice how directional the mike was for more distant recording e.g someone lecturing 10 -15 yards away.

As for the mic, I think they look really nice. If I ever get around to producing the podcast I’ve been thinking about, this is probably the mic I’ll get.
