Re: Best way to mic a clarinet?

The boom idea is great if your in an environment where you can get plenty of mic gain....i.e. you're well-protected from feedback.

But in noisier conditions even the mic just above your fingers won't really cut it. In those cases, it's better to have two mics. One will be close to the body of the instrument (near the left hand holes as Marty described), and one will be near the bell (but not inline with the air coming from the bell). I toured with a show some years back where this arrangement was used, and it served very well. The upper mic also worked fine for my alto sax.

The main con to this is that those mics should be mixed separately (requiring an extra soundboard channel).
