    Kev , Just wondering if you tongue block or pucker or a bit of both? I tend to do a bit of both but mostly tongue block. I find it easier to to bend more comfortably with pucker. Anyway love your videos . Keep them coming. Thank you 😊

    "Don't normally do these things, BUT" Stop stroking your bald head. Mind you, it was better to watch that (with the sound off) than actually listening. If you are from Leeds...(or Beeston)....that explains it all.

Trying to play The River on a "C". until I threw it in the Sea after many years. Your intro sounds better than many online "Experts". Thank you! I will bend it:) LO

    a bit of trivia: Shure invented controlled reluctance mic elements. they got tired of people asking them "controlled reluc... how do you say that word?" so they changed it to controlled magnetic, which is another way for an engineer to say the same thing. other manufacturers continued to use controlled reluctance. either way, it's a variation of a dynamic mic.

    • @keefmeister77
      @keefmeister77 Před 2 měsíci

      There are some differences between Controlled Reluctance and Controlled Magnetic elements. The CRs are hand wound, not the CMs. The diaphragm of the CRs is attached to the pin with a small metal "hat" while with CMs it was done with a drop of glue. Both of these things make the CRs in general a bit fuller and raspier sounding than CMs. The ohms also varied over the years, a strong early black CR (1949 - 1953) might be over 1300 ohms, a strong white CM (1954 - 1957) might be just under 1100 ohms, a strong early CM (1958 - 1962) might be over 1100 ohms, a strong single impedance CM (1963 - 1980s) might be 1050 ohms and a strong dual impedance CM (1980s - 1996, many made in Mexico) might top out at 1400 ohms. All these elements age differently however, so a strong CR might actually sound worse than a so so CM, but in general the earlier the element the better the sound (assuming all the elements considered are strong and have aged well).
