[QUOTE="Jon R Smith, post: 25529, member: 262"] Re: Micing a violin For me the answer is, it depends. I know you said violin but, is this a bluegrass/folk style or 4 piece chamber/orchestra style? If it is a fiddle style the next question is will they sing? If BG and they will sing I have had great luck with a SM58 on a boom stand, ball over bridge pointing down at the fiddle so they can play and sing. If they just play then an SDC as has been suggested works well. I have also used a AKG414, 214 and C3000B. Best place to start is pick the brain of the artist and see what they have used in the past. For violin as was suggested, over the shoulder from the rear and close to the bridge, [/QUOTE]
