Cinela PIANI-1 Pianissimo Windshield Kit (Select Option)

The Pianissimo is mainly designed for the new generation of short shotgun microphones and coincident stereo, surround sound combinations and in fact all kind of mics shorter than 21cm. Easily transported, the Pianissimo is very light, robust and adaptable, with all the recognised qualities of the existing range of Cinela windshields.

The Pianissimo features a very light and unbreakable cage. Constructed in two parts, the lower and upper pieces clip together at six points by simple friction. Aerodynamic ovoid shape and maximum internal volume around microphone acoustic sections for high wind resistance. The primary covering is a 2mm thick 3D fabric to provide a very good first level wind protection for a total acoustic transparency.
