It is an incredibly great sounding and versatile classic ribbon mic. Most buy these in factory pairs, so be sure to consider that option. 4038 High Fidelity Ribbon. Stereo Pair of the most well-known Ribbon microphones in existence.
I have dozens of valuable vintage microphones including RCA 77DX and 44s. IMO these are the best you can get for piano, drum overheads, vibraphone, percussion, strings...almost any instrument. They record high end beautifully and are never harsh or too bright. There's nothing else like them. A great value. The articulating head makes positioning easy.
