(2) Sennheiser MKH20
(1) Neumann TLM 103
(2) Sennheiser MKH800

And possible some Heil microphones

Hi!

Here is one piece from the recording in finland with Markus Wargh.
But you must pay attention that it's a wooden church. So the
acoustics is pretty bad.

Sorry for the low compression on the file...But i don't have sufficient space on the web for my files.

What do guy's think about this recording ?
