Hello!

Very OT, I know, but is there anyone who could offer any comments on 
these mics, particularly for recording acoustic guitars and other 
stringed instruments?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

there was a very favourable review in SOS magazine a few years ago. 
Supposed to be very uncoloured. Great for small acoustic ensembles (in 
a stereo setup) and acoustic guitar.

Cheers,

Recky

I use a matched pair of Oktavas since a year and realy love them.
I use them mostly for instruments, overhead and stereo miking.
Bang for the bucks, they are winners.

Hi!

For the native English speaking...

What´s the correct (or used) expression:
"here comes Chris & Marty" or
"here come Chris & Marty"?

Thanx,
Peter

The latter -- [Chris + Marty] = plural.

In speech you could get the former if for example only Chris was in view at
first -- "Here comes Chris ... and Marty too." would be correct in that
context.

Hi Peter

Think in terms of 3 person plural - "they come", definitely not "they comes"
- 3 person singular would be "he/she/it comes"

Therefore, "here come Chris & Marty"?

Beste Gruesse ;-)

or "here comes Chris, along with Marty and  friends".

hmmmmm. I speak English Natively and this is just not used. It may be
correct grammar but it sounds wrong to me.

I would say "Here comes Chris and Marty". If it was a group of people I
would say "Here they come". If it was a band I would say, "Here come the
Barbarianz". I think if you list the individual names it would be "comes",
Marty being an add on.

Then again we Americans are known for speaking incorrectly, so who am I to
say, I certainly haven't studied this with any care. My example is just how
it would be used in a conversation in the US.

Why did I feel that I had to write this email with perfect grammar, spelling
and capitalization?

You are right in saying that this type of expression is not commonly used,
nevertheless, it is grammatically correct. BTW I am also a natively English
speaker ;-).

>If it was a group of people I would say "Here they come". 

Kind of proves the point - Peter asked about two people - i.e. a (small)
group. Therefore 3rd person plural applies - they come

>I think if you list the individual names it would be "comes", Marty being
an add on.

But that isn't the case here, as far as I can make out ...

>My example is just how it would be used in a conversation in the US.

Yes, I agree with that, then again, there are lots of examples of English
being spoken less than perfectly in many "English speaking" parts of the
world ....

>Why did I feel that I had to write this email with perfect grammar,
spelling and capitalization?

To set a good example? ...why I am being so pedantic ...

Kind regards

He didn't get lynched because it worked with the rhythm he sang, and he
sings damn well, IMHO, which convinces you it's ok. Rhythm is way more
important than grammar in lyrics, obviously, since they aren't meant to be
spoken. I bet he struggled with that line though.
