Octava MK-012 mic and Ukulele sound samples

Hey Folks,

Just wanted to ad praise for the heralded Russian made Octava MK-012 mics through my Martech MSS-10 pre. I especially like them with my acoustics and really dig them with my Ukulele recorded below:

Whispering Mist:
Solo 8-string Kamaka Ukulele:

Kat's Calla Lily:
8-string Kamaka Ukulele with Pre War Rickenbacher Bakelight lapsteel, bass:

Emerald Tapestry:
A bit more aggressive track:

Yeah, these showcase the non-hyped top end that is characterisic of the '012 - these mics also do a nice job on other small body / higher pitched string instruments like mandolin, banjo and violin.

I just scored/performed a lot of country/bluegrass additional music for a computer game. I recorded fiddle, banjo, mandolin, lap steel, and steel guitar all exclusively with an OktavaMod MK-012. It sounds great on every string instrument I throw it on.
