Renting Schoeps

[Thomas Bishop]

I have an upcoming choir recording at the end of this month and would like
to try out a pair of Schoeps. Nobody in the area (Memphis) has even heard
of them. I would like a pair of CMC6+mk41 (or mk4 would be acceptable) for
Sept. 27/28. If anyone knows where I could rent a pair or would be willing
to rent them to me, please let me know. I can't own them now but I'd like
to at least hear what I'm missing. Thanks.

Thomas,

If the rental places on Ty's list don't have what you need, you might
consider contacting the U.S. distributor for Schoeps (Redding Audio)
and asking them for advice--they may know of a source for rentals.
Their home page at http://www.reddingaudio.com shows their phone number
and email address.

--best regards

Thanks, Ty.

Are the rental outfits you list, and the ones others have
suggested, generally amenable to shipping back and forth or
are they pickup/dropoff type situations?

Any full service rental outfit is comfortable with shipping, and they
know how long it takes to ship so they don't charge you for that time.

This is how people in places where they don't have dealers can get to
try out nice equipment.

The only policies that I have read state that the renter pays for the time
in transit. It seems most places that Ty listed (and I'm greatful for that)
are located in California. Not a quick arrival. For the rental companies
without a shipping policy stated on their web site, I'll just have to call
and find out. Hopefully I will prove you correct.

People such as myself.

FedEx can get a shipment to you the next day, in the lower 48.

I agree. I'm located in Wake Forest NC, and FedEx is hit or miss around
here even though we are 20 minutes from the State Capital (Raleigh). Not
like that hill like area you live in Hank, where FedEx might have
somewhat of an excuse.:)

Well, you don't rent for an hour if you only need it for an hour, but
if you need it for a few days, you rent for a week which costs about
four days at the daily rate, and if it's clear that it was in transit
they usually don't fuss about an extra day or so in transit. But they
expect that if you need it in a hurry, you'll pay for overnight
shipping coming to you, and you won't ship it back via pack mule.

Web sites are a good resource for finding what's out there and what
they have, but when it comes to doing business, there's nothing like a
phone call.

Bob,

I don't know for sure. I suspect most of them ship.

How much is 2 day air? Or even next day? Not that much for a couple of
microphones.

USPS? Does Hank have a post office?

Well, you have to live within 2 or 3 counties of a road, or at least a clearing
big enough to handle a copter. Isn't your mountain officially considered "Sub
Lower 48"?

From somewhere such as California, around $50 for next day (one way).

If it wasn't for Hank's post office, he wouldn't have an address.
