Audio Technica 871 cardioid boundary mic. Discovered that i loved their sound while recording an opera stage, bought 3 bc they are incredibly cheap used. I use them on almost every project now in some capacity. Excellent harp and double bass spot in a tight or low vis orchestra setup, pretty darned effective soloist mic, just kinda works in a million fun ways, and in setups with Schoeps, Neumann, etc it still holds its own. By far my best value mic i own.
