Rode K2 Great Sax and Flute Mic |

Tom Strohman said, "I have never heard my flute captured like this even in the big studios".. "Warm, round, gorgeous tone"
My first choice was to use a Neumann U87 for both Tom's flute and sax. I had already set up my new K2 (just out of the box) so I ask him if he minded playing through both mic's. When we listened to the U87 track it was OK, it caught the instrument but nothing to rave about. When we turned up the K2 track, Tom's eyes got big, and right away he stated, "Wow, what warm, round, gorgeous tone"... "I have never heard my flute captured like this even in the big studios"... The K2 is truly a keeper. No eq or compression was used or needed.
In all fairness to the U87, it is not a tube mic however it is an industry standard mic used for recording wind instruments and there for rightfully challenged.
Tom on sax/flute in concert or recording with:
Cher, Eddie Fisher, Della Reese, Patti Page and rock and roll legends, Johnny Winter and Dan Hartman or Third Stream
