Sure, I've now used it on acoustic guitar and violin, as well as a vocal. I was very pleased with it on acoustic - very natural and full, capturing just a hint more natural room ambience than my cardioid SDC (due to the fig 8 polar pattern). On violin, it helped tame the strident quality they express occasionally. On vocals it was natural, full, and had a lounge singer quality to it. Probably the best hundred I've spent in quite a while. For reference my mic collection ranges from a couple budget mics like the R44 and SM57's to vintage Neumanns and some nice tube mics.
