Anyone used one of cheap ribbon mics I see on

$100? Yeah, probably get what you pay for ... but I don't have 2 to 4

tenor sax and I've heard that ribbons are really good for this.
Comments appreciated.
There are lots of different ribbon mics around. Some of them
are not
really ribbon mics in the classical sense. I don't think a Mylar skin with
a ribbon printed on it will sound the same as the old ribbon mics. (they
may sound good, but not the same)
I'm surprised nobody has suggested a Beyer M500. I've used them a lot,
and like them, and they aren't very expensive.
