I would also reccommend that you have the engineer place a condensor mic to the side of the bell, about 1 foot from the right hand side of the chair facing the rear. Still a compromise, but a much more "normal" sound than the direct sound straight from the bell. Paxmaha

The horn will have its own mike near the bell. Should I play dynamics or is that taken out of my hands by an engineer?
