I was grateful earlier this year in 'catters' help in my search for a decent, yet reasonably priced condenser mic for home recording. I settled on an Apex 430, which ran me about $250 Cdn, and sounds great to my ears.

A friend and I got together recently so he could try out the mic on his set up, and we got to thinking whether it might be wise for him to look into a good instrument mic, and then of course we could swap back and forth.

So, any suggestions? I've checked the permathread thingy here and can't seem to find what I want. Besides, time and experience bring along more suggestions. So what about it; a reasonably priced condenser mic for acoustic guitar, fiddle, etc. for a modest home studio? sb
