Coles 4038 Studio Ribbon

Those mics sound beautiful! I use them mainly for recording piano. However they are really heavy and once I had a mic stand failing to carry it, which resulted in a broken ribbon, which took 200 euros to repair.

So good ways of using them safely is difficult, for my piano I built a wooden homemade mic 'stand' that is like a long plank laying on top of the piano, and with tai rips I hang the two heavy big mics on top of them, so I can record safely without worries! Because of there heavy weight, weird positions with normal mic stands always will work really problematic . . .

So no allrounder mic, but hopefully they last for the rest of my live, because they just sound so great (: I used them for about 2 years now.
