I think someone has posted that pic before. Possibly a Neumann KM56. I'm sure someone who actually knows will confirm or refute that for me.

I have been looking this up and it seems that it may well be a Neumann KM56, with a Sennheiser wind screen, or a neumann equivilent. The description of the windscreen in other sites seems to sugest Sennheiser. I would definetly love to find out for sure. Thanks scrubs!
