I recently ran across this product in my attempt to eliminate ";frame noise"; on some mallet instruments.

It's a good idea - sort of a ";shockmount"; if you will, for your mallet mics.  But I'm not sure where/how to mount the mics with this system.  I'm sure I could figure it out, but I thought I would see if any of you guys have experience with this before I make the investment.  Or does anyone have any other solutions to eliminate frame noise? 

Thanks for your help & comments.

Perhaps you slide the shaft of the mic in the netting so it is supported near the top of the mic.
