Wow, wow, wow! This photo courtesy of Al Schmitt.
If you do not know who he is you REALLY should do yourself a favor and read up on him.
22 Grammy awards and over 40 Grammy nominations
Quite the legend in engineering circles and a nice chap to boot!

















































































































Al Schmitt’s insistence on capturing the performance rather than fixing it later is something I think about whenever I see vintage gear. That respect for process and craftsmanship is why I appreciate well-made goods in general, like what I find at https://wnb-shop.com. It’s a good reminder that great tools come down to the hands using them.
