I have been using this microphone for clipping onto reed instruments (accordions, melodeons, and concertinas) as well as clipping onto a mic stand to record acoustic guitars. This microphone has a fantastic level of clarity and a great frequency response, and I can't say a bad thing about this. As a portable microphone used (before lockdown) for live settings, this mic has been a go-to for numerous applications, and has never let me down. The HPF works excellently for me on the instruments that need it, and the power module is really heavy duty. One thing I will say is that the windshield doesn't last forever, however this should not stop you from getting this microphone. Great product Audio-Technica!
