It struck me that the bright characteristic of this mic
could be used to advantage other than in concert applications, for
recording of instruments such a celeste, or tuned
percussion, glockenspiel, bar chimes, bell tree, etc.
The sound was pleasing - clean, clear and bright,
with adequate gain.
Yes, that pretty fairly sums up this mic. Bright - too
bright for many applications and harsh is a description
I've often heard. Of course any flavour of mic will find
an application, even if it is "enhanced intelligibility"
in a church, oxymoron though that clearly is.

Several reports of the C1000 making most things sound " glassy and
unnatural".

Several reports? So you have no first hand experience?
This is quite a step back from your initial "the AKG C1000
sound like ****" statement, isn't it?



This is more of the 'whose opinions I trust' hearsay BS which
'mandarins' are prone to peddle in the full expectation there's no-one
in a position to challenge them...
