Bought this mic for my fiddle and it's great! Before, to mic up my fiddle I used a skyinbow pickup that also goes through effects pedals, which worked fine but I had some issues with sound quality.
Now I use the DPA mic alongside the skyinbow pick up and it sounds great. It provides a real clarity to the sound and has really made a difference.
I know the mics are pricy but I would say worth every penny. Have been using it for about 4/5 months now and no problems at all.
