AA2 Week 6 Strings

The usual custom of getting the muso to wander around the room while we listened occurred. We settled on an area close to where the other player was on Tuesday. All the usual mics went up although Doug thought he would try the Sennheiser shotgun mic. The playing was kind of more like a fiddle than a violin but that’s cool. Out of interest the musician commented, just like the other one on Tuesday, that the recording did not sound the same as when she is playing the instrument. I put it down to the musicians ear being so close to the body of the violin and hearing more woody resonance than hearing the room itself. I forgot my camera again so this pic will have to suffice.
