I am one of Clarence's biggest fans. Known him 35 years and he worked on 11 of my ribbon mics. Rebuilt a 1933 Bruno mic and he lost money restoring it for me! I spent a lot of time with him in that shop. He willingly taught me a lot. I have over 37 ribbon mics and he knew I had to learn how to take care of them. Luke did an amazing job bringing tribute to an American icon. Thank you Clarence!

So very sorry for your loss Luke. You guy's re-ribboned a 77 for me during the pandemic. I hope you'll be able to carry on Mr Kane's legacy.

Thank you for such a wonderful short film. First radio station I stepped foot into was in 1998. Was thankfully introduced to the Electro-Voice RE20 for the first time. Been in love with spoken word mic's ever since :)

Recently had ribbons replaced in two BK-4A Starmaker Mic's by the legend himself and they both sound better then ever! Thank you both for the years of great work.

Luke, this is a great doc short! The mic that's at 8:15 (a KU-3A) is one of ours at Blue Table Post, so it's fun to see that in there. But it's a great portrait. Well done. -Oliver Lief

Such a fascinating story. I just sent my RCA 77-DX in for restoration and I'm so happy I chose ENAK after seeing this video. It's so difficult to find true 'craftsmen' any more, and these two gentlemen exemplify that word.
