Can someone tell me how this sounds with brass instruments?

You can see one of the mics in the lower left corner of the shot. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqBESv2n1GE

I have tried it with a P-bass. The cleanest sound was distorted. No bass type bottom end. Turning up the gain made a grainy hi-mid distortion. Not really usable for anything I would play or practice with. You can hear your notes so it might be of use to some players.

We returned ours due to the quality of the finish, but that may have been a faulty item. It probably can be improved if you have the tools and finish at home to even out tone, etc..

I don't have many hours on my instrument yet, but so far, there is no buzzing sound like that, so I am guessing it may be a defect. I would suggest contacting the seller, as it could get worse later. I hope that helps.

Hell Michael! I purchased the resonator a while back and learning to play slide and old Blues. In my opinion, this guitar has outstanding tone and sound, especially when using a glass slide. I have played with the brass piece and find the glass to be a better choice and overall sound. I have gone onto the internet for lessons and find there are several individuals willing to share their talent and ideas. Good luck to you!

There is no probably about the sound. It is bad. Sounds like music and headphones are playing in a tin can.

Yes it would. I have brass also but don't notice the difference. I love it!

It's actually harder. The instrument is played by touching silver-like studs, which are not pushable buttons. So the feel isn't anywhere near the real thing. Honestly I wish I'd bought the more expensive model. I mean this works fine but, it certainly wasn't what I expected. If you're used to playing regular brass I wouldn't recommend this.

I use it with my guitar and can hear it over the strings. I then turn it down a little so if I hear the beat then my timng is off. Then sound of my stirngs block to click out. So it is quite ajustable. I suggest you go to a music store and try it out..

I've tried it on a trumpet, and it sounded pretty clean and accurate. I've also tried it on vocals and drums, it will do really good on almost anything really. If all you're looking for a mic to record just a brass instrument though, and don't already own an audio interface, I'd recommend the Blue Snowball USB. It's $100 I believe, it'll sound similar, and you won't have to buy an interface for it (which are $100-200 in addition to the mic itself) hope this helps!

It looks super awesome not satin and not too dark. One thing I have to mention is that the tone is not accurate for the 3rd string. When u finish tuning with the open string&#65292; it will go clinker if u play the fifth fret.

Not sure, but I would say probably not as well as it would with a standard. In the standard the brass is hugging, and therefore deadening all across, and therefore all the strings evenly. With a compensated it would only touch the outermost presented parts of the bridge, dampening those strings in particular in a strong way, leaving the inner most sections probably free to vibrate more, so those strings might be louder. Though they might all be somewhat muted, but I think the effect would be unevenly distributed. Since you would want the volume of all strings to be equally damped (like it would usually work) I don't think this will work for you. Even if you got all rocket scientist on it and bent it to conform to the irregularities of the bridge, you'd then have a problem of not being able to slide that puppy ion and off, which is the great feature. I think you might need to get a couple violin type mutes that slip on vertically. One of the nice things about this mute is it really give a good tone, whereas violin mutes leave something to be desired. But if its a choice between practicing,.... and unhappy spouse, waking kids or bitchy neighbors...ya gotta do what ya gotta do...

https://m.reddit.com/comments/286hv7Check the above link out - video of someone who plugged in a violin and how exactly they tuned it to the game- like someone else said you'd have to figure out yourself how notes correlate to the tablature which will be a complication and also just a downside to the game as you won't be able to read music afterwards

My 11 year old son plays one in 6th grade band. It sounds as good as a brass bone, but weighs less than 3 lb! Highly recommend it!

Nice chime, quite melodic. I should post my pictures... one of these days &gt;:-}

I suggest using a guitar pedal eq (or some other type of preamp) before you go to the mixer. This will boost the signal and the pickups tone. I am currently using this on a mandolin. It sounds very natural. I have tried this on a cello, it was plenty fat. I think with the eq you will get a good sound. You can't beat the price. You could even get crazy, buy 2 pickups and 2 eq's and put 1 in the F-hole and 1 on the bridge???

Honestly it looks better than it sounds. It's not total junk or anything but if I had to do it over again. I probably would have purchased something else. Bass is kinda mediocre.
