Thanks for the input.
As you might have guessed, IYm suspicious of salespersons and I donYt
dare to argue with them.
I followed the discussions here in this forum and understood that the
main choices in SC mics for acoustic fingerstyle guitar are the
Josephson C42, the Neumann KM 184, the Microtec-Gefell M294 and the
Schoeps CCM 4
The Schoeps (1050 Euros)and the Gefell (950 Euros) are a bit above my
price limit.
Unfortunately the Josephsons are not sold here in Europe, so thereYs no
chance to try them out.
I own quite a few high class acoustics (Martin, Collings, Gallagher) so
all I want is to record their unique beautiful natural sound without
coloration of the mics. IYve struggled with a pair of AKG 1000 until
now, which I think are really horrible for acoustic guitar.
I didnYt consider the Neumann KM 84, because I thought it is no longer
manufactured, so correct me if IYm wrong.
BTW, Neumann mics have gone up quite a bit in price recently: the KM 184
is now up from 595 to 685 Euros here.
Thanks again for your advice
Dieter


Hi Dieter,,
In teh Audio Archives of my website is a sample of my 1772 D 28S Martin
with mostly dead medium strings and a Schoeps CMC641. Go listen. I really
like the CMC641.
