A walkthrough and review video for the Cortado MKIII contact microphone from Zeppelin Design Labs. In this video I run the features and specs of the mic as well some recording examples of instruments and sound design.
I received an NFR Cortado MKIII for review purposes.

Side note, all clips marked natural are straight from the recorder with zero processing apart from level. I also chucked this mic into some ice and it survived just fine, just didn't get anything that exciting sound wise.

Stunning !!

[@WilliamMorrisMusic]

Merci!

Great video! We just used contact mics on an old Yamaha e piano and came up with a way more interesting sound, especially making a beat with the action in the plastic keys. Your examples are giving me way more ideas, buying some contact mics of my own ASAP!

[@WilliamMorrisMusic]

Thanks! It's definitely a fun way to record, I'm hoping to experiment on an upright piano soon.

Do you by chance know the difference between the MK two and the MK three?

[@WilliamMorrisMusic]

I think the MK 2 is a DIY kit but I'm not sure what other differences there are, pretty sure its a different sensor though. The guys at Zeppelin should be able to help though.

There's a link in the description to the product page that will have pricing on it.
