Since I've got Beyer M260's (3) I've never used anything else for brass and even winds.

A while ago I've recorded a klezmer band and the winds were recorded with both a Beyer 260 and a Neumann M149.

The player's choice was the 260. M260's have a rolloff on the low end, but who needs low end for tpets tbones or clarinets?

Besides that, the Beyer ribbons are among the brighter sounding ribbons and 260's are the cheapest of them, but great mics.

I always use two mics on brass and winds, the MD441 is great as well and very rejective, but still a nice OAR.

And if you go for an MD421 on brass, use the MK1.
