This is an amazing mic. It retails for nearly 700 more than this! 

We made some awesome records with it, Dave Douglas's Spark of Being this was used as the drum overhead for Gene Lake, but it was also the most versatile piano mic ever, being used on records with the Blue Note 7,  Bill Charlap, Ravi Coltrane's group. etc etc we really found this to be amazing. The ratcheting caps are awesome and really makes for a simple and quick solution to so many things. 

I had Plus24 in LA give it a once over before I sold it, and they gave it a beyond clean bill of health. It includes the breakout cable and a clamp that came with it, original case and the documentation. Selling it about 500 bucks cheaper than you can find anywhere else because I need to make room in the mic locker. Though I really hate to see this go, we started doing very different types of live recordings and I need to make the move to other options. let me know if there are any questions. go to to hear a bunch of the things this was used on. 

Thanks - description of the mic below.

The Sanken CUW-180 combines two exceptionally engineered cardioid condenser microphones in one compact body. Each of the two capsules is independently adjustable through any angle up to 180°, with 15° detent, providing a versatile microphone for a variety of X-Y stereo and Surround recording applications. Thanks to precise diaphragm layout of two capsules, the perfect phase coherence between Ch1 and Ch2 is kept even in any angle of two capsules.

It is important to note that two microphone capsules in one body create an ideal stereo configuration because the actual physical design takes into account the effect of the microphone body itself, as opposed to two separate microphones which are not physically designed to work adjacent to one another. The CUW-180 provides ideal X-Y stereo recording of classical ensembles, guitars, brass, drum overheads, etc. The microphone is also well-suited for talk shows with two persons sitting face-to-face, providing fully independent level controls. Each signal is available through the standard AES configuration XLR-5M connector.

For Surround applications, two CUW-180 are ideal for true four-channel recording, providing a conceptually simple method of recording both Front L/R and Rear L/R signals. In the Sanken Surround system, one microphone is used for front L and R, while a second microphone is used for rear SL and SR. The essential phase coherence for L and R is rigidly maintained, while allowing the front and rear dual microphones to be positioned for the particular situation. To add another source for a hard front Center channel, an optional mic holder is available, and Sanken offers a complete line of shotgun microphones which can be utilized for this purpose.
