Hi
This has been discussed here before (check the archives:
http://test.woodwind.org/Search/index.html?klarinet_index=klarinet_index),
but it would be nice to get the latest information and opinion from
people with experience with miking a clarinet.
I don't know brands or details, but Buddy DeFranco (on a visit to
Syracuse to perform with the Central New York Jazz Orchestra in 2004)
had great success using a small wireless mike that was attached to a
shirt buttonhole (right behind the middle of the clarinet). That
seems a lot simpler than the two-mike systems often suggested.
