Re: Best way to mic a clarinet?

I have both the double mic (AMT) and the Shure WB98H/C clamp-on mic. The latter is small and preferred. However, I haven't been able to find a way to attach the Shure mic easily to the clarinet.

So, I found the following solution. I took a 3/4-1 1/4 inch hose clamp (from a hardware or auto parts store) and lined it with felt (ACE Hardware "felt blanket"). I clamped it to the ring of the clarinet bell. There is a 1/2 inch metal tab left sticking out from the screw that can be bent so that when the mic is clamped onto this metal tab, the mic sits firmly on the clarinet.

Since I play both a Bb and C clarinet, I placed a clamp on both. Now it is very easy to move the Shure mic from one clarient to another.

Let me know if this helps any others out there. Or does someone have better idea?
