What a delightful video of Clarence Kane. He is still "The Man" for ribbon mics, no doubt.
He restored a 44BX for me a few years ago, and he is located in South Jersey not far from where I grew up.

What a great video. Thank you for posting it. Clarence has worked on my ribbon mics for years. He does top notch work and is always a pleasure to deal with.

WONDERFUL! Great video. I'm blessed to have a 77DX that he refurbished. Killer mic. Glad he's got someone helping him!

Thanks for sharing!
I got to visit his shop and talk about microphones for an hour or so as he repaired a BK-5B of mine.
This video captures him perfectly.... such a great guy and legend.
Cool to see ENAK still going strong.

Does anyone have specific guidance / instructions for tuning ribbons to a resonant frequency? (And the recommended resonant frequencies for the major ribbon mics?)
I've always done it "by eye, and ear", but it would be nice to have something empirical to make it repeatable etc...
(Also, I'm not looking to get into the biz or anything, just maintaining my own. I'll leave that business to guys like Clarence and Wes!)

I keep thinking about this... How fortunate that dude Luke is to have formed this relationship and apprenticeship. This kind of thing is so hard to come by. Massive opportunity. It would suck if all this knowledge went away when Clarence retires.
