“I use the K&K system for my vibraphone of 3 and a half octaves, it is an absolutely brilliant capture and great sound quality. With it, the instrument has gained new possibilities and combined with new technologies, you can also experiment with effects. I am very grateful to the people at K&K for building something that helps us immensely in creativity, recordings and live performances.”
