Western Classical Music Instruments

[125dB (1% THD)] The C3000 is my main mic, I use it on acustic instruments as Classical, Acustic and Portuguese Guitar,and also on Vocals and as a room mic. It sounds closer to what you hear in the room then any other mic, with a smooth top end to help you to get warm vocals.

[Black] Seamless powerful bass. Used mostly with all classical music from opera to concerti to the oldies.

[13.4 lb] I generally use these for classical vocal ensembles and chamber music. They are very responsive and handle the highs of a soaring soprano line very well. I never have to worry about the sound being distorted.

[2.5 lb] In the past, I have used a Casio keyboard and a Harmonium as an aid in understanding South Asian classical music. The Casio is not accurate and the Harmonium is bulky. Paired with GarageBand on my MacBook Pro, this keyboard remedies both issues. And the quality appears to be good. 37 keys are just right; 25 would have been more portable but less useful. I am glad I got the bluetooth version. I did have an issue in that the bluetooth required installing Bluetooth Midi Connect from Korg. This was incompatible with OS X Mavericks. I reluctantly risked updating to Sierra. Thankfully it all went well.

[1] Always use it on my Rode NT5 every time I record classical guitar music, considered expensive for me but happy with it.

[MDF] Completes my NS-777 speaker pair. Perfect sound - for classical and all music at a great price.

[1/8" / 3.5 mm] As a classical choral musician, I search for the details within a piece of music to differentiate the good from the great from the best. These Grado SR80e headphones allow the smallest details to be conveyed accurately -- to the artist's delight, or possibly to their dismay. The open-back design allows for the ambiance of one's space to join the musical expression intended by the artist. It's the most accurate, pleasing, unadulturated sound experience I've had. Needless to say, these come very highly recommended.

[Moving Magnet] Wanted a softer sounding cartridge for archiving classical music. Had an old B&O turntable,back in the day,came with a ortofon cartridge standard sounded good with classical music. So for $31 give one a chance again, worked out fine. Nice full sound,can hear everything,without drilling my eyeballs out.

I generally use these for classical vocal ensembles and chamber music. They are very responsive and handle the highs of a soaring soprano line very well. I never have to worry about the sound being distorted.

[Bluetooth 5.0] I decided at beginning of the 2024 that I would digitize my extensive library of classical and opera CDs and then donating them to the local library for sale. It was one of the best decisions I made in quite a while. The way I organized the music in my computer for download into the MP3 player, coupled with the technology and quality of sound has been amazing. I have all music at my fingertips and thoroughly enjoy listening to a collection I spent many years in securing.
