Very Good Microphone for Violin

I have only used this mic for the violin, for some months now. Its brings really good sound out of the violin, it shines in the low-mid range, making the violin sound fatter, but it has also a clear high end. Therefore, it's very convenient to be used for playing solo violin in a band. I don't think it would work in a loud stage environment, even if it has an acceptable sound rejection capabilities. I used it with a stage wedge monitor, and the sound engineer did raise the monitor level to a good level without causing feedback issues. The low-cut filter switch is very good at rejecting noise coming from the violin moving, so it's essential if you want little involvement from the sound engineer.

I think the sound is slightly better than the DPA mic that I have used earlier. The DPA mic has a flatter response, so maybe it's better if you have a violin section. And this mic should be better for a solo violin.

Great sounding gooseneck mic

I think this is the most natural sounding acoustic gooseneck mic for fiddle/guitar/free reed instruments. It's the only thing I use live on many instruments. The only mark against it is that the clamp is a bit strange and other instrument specific clamps are very expensive.
