As someone who has played into a mic many, many times in various environments, let me add my 2 cents: The advice about using a boom and placing it a few feet above the clarinet is excellent. Putting a mic well in front is also good advice. These techniques work very well in many situations, especially for recording. However, there are many situations in which it is hard to mic the clarinet in these ideal ways due to feedback issues, etc. Depending on the speaker placement, and the venue, sometimes you just cannot put the mic far from the clarinet. If one is forced to place the mic closer to the clarinet, it's best to put it over the players fingers - maybe 6 inches above or so. I usually placed a mic by my left hand, angled down a bit. The sound is not 100% perfect, but WAY better than trying to mic the bell.
