Neumann U47:

Thanks to Tracy Korby for his work on our "47" to make it the best it can be. Check out his quote:

"It's very rare when we see a U47 seeming as though it came from the Neumann factory yesterday. It's an honor to work with a studio lucky enough to have such a magnificent example of sonic engineering and can put artists in front of a true example of what Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole and Elvis Presley all used in their recordings. This microphone represents a step back in time to be able to capture a beautiful tone as it was meant to be heard from Neumann's point of view. We've tested it thoroughly and this is one of the few that stands up and represents itself as it should. It has the time capsules element of transporting you back into history. Do yourself a favor and stop by Patrick McGuire Recording to say hello to this excellent microphone."

Vintage Keyboards:
Hammond A100 with a 142 (short 122) Leslie

This organ is a B3 down to the last drawbar with the exception of the cabinet. It sports a console style cabinet with internal amp and speakers. It is matched up with a Leslie 142 (a short 122). The Hammond and Leslie have been lovingly restored and rebuilt from the ground up by The Hammond Store and are like new! Hammonds have always been the choice for gospel, blues and jazz organ, but are also being used inreasingly for almost all styles of popular music. There are many good Hammond samples on the market, but NOTHING truly sounds like the real thing!

Wurlitzer 200-A

The original Wurli was born in the early 1950s, and has to this day, influenced generations of musicians and listeners! (The first recorded song to feature a Wurlitzer Electric Piano was Ray Charles' 'What'd I Say', released in 1959.  Other notable artists who have used the Wurli include: The Beatles, 3 Dog Night, Supertramp, and Norah Jones. The 200 Series especially the “A” is the most popular and, most agree, has the best action and sound amplification of all the models. Ours is pristine and according to our tech, is quite possibly “the sweetest sounding Wurli” he's ever worked on. You can test that opinion for yourself!
