Re: Mic a koto live?Hi Tommy!I had the pleasure of having Hiroshima come through a jazz festival I was mixing over the summer and they feature a koto in their band.IIRC they had a contact mic inside the instrument feeding a tuner and we took a DI off that, and they also had what looked to be a Shure Beta 91 tucked up in the sound hole.Their BE mixed both in the PA and I think we just had the DI in the monitors.Here is a video (not of this gig) of them playing where you can see what I'm talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWd8rkidW3IHope this helps! When in doubt, take some extra time at soundcheck to really move the mics around. If you have someone out at FOH and a patch guy moving the mic it should only take 5 minutes or so to find the sweet spot for that instrument.-Mike Brown

Hi Tommy!
