Brad,
I favor a coincident pair because there are no phase problems in mono, but even
more so because it is easy to recreate. I don't have a problem with close
miking (30-40cm). It is a matter of placement and mic quality, though. Every
environment and instrument is different. It is probably
It all goes to show that Micing up is hard to do.

Recipe for a really super natural lute sound:
1) Use 20-50 prohibitively expensive mics.

THAT is the way to go!
i am reminded of how a Russian composer (i forget which) who'd moved
to the USA after the Soviet Revolution, couldn't afford gramophone
needles and made do with whatever needly-pinny-thingies he could find.
when asked how he could abide such terrible sound, he said

It may depend on many things (mic type, room acoustic, sound projection
of your lute etc). So it's better to spend some time for several short
sound-tests with different mic placing.
But no close distances from mic to lute. Try somthing around 1,5-3
meters.

David Tayler is someone who could offer good advice; his recordings are very
natural sounding. David . . .?

Hi Brad,
if you could post an excerpt somewhere I'd probably be
able to tell you what was going on with your recording.
Tinny and Distorted doesn't immediately give the impression
of mic too close.
A wild guess might be that the mics were out of phase with
each other, that is one would have

Dear All,
In my limited experience, too-close miking leads to boomey, guttural
distortion. Some pros recommend 10 feet (or 3 meters) away, and 10 feet
up.
This, of course is based on having a good acoustic environment to
start with.
