Ther DPA 4090 is an excellent little microphone,
though perhaps a tad noisy for lute with a noise
figure of 23dBA (reference 20µPa).
Compared to the 10dBA or 11dba from the full
line of Sennheiser and Schoeps omnis.
A very nice mic nonetheless.

Dear Lutenetters,
In the last few months there have been a few interesting topics and I
have a couple of things on my Blog that might be of interest.
In regard to the very interesting recording thread, you can find MP3's
and a making of Video from the new Pantagruel CD "Laydie Louthians
Lilte".

It was recorded with a pair of DPA 4090 omni-directional microphones
into a PC using a firewire interface.
There is no added reverb, compression etc, or overdubs.
Just in time for the recording sessions, Martin Shepherd delivered a
new 7 course lute.
He made some photos of the building process, which can be viewed at...

Our flute player upstaged me a bit, in that he built his own
renaissance flute for the recording!
With the help of the Recorder maker Tim Cranmore..
