Re: Best way to mic a clarinet?

Here's my experience, for what its worth. In playing jazz and in dance bands for many hours over many years, I always tried to play solos while standing, with a mic placed a short distance (less than a foot) above the mid point of the tone holes. In this way I could move freely to adjust the position of my clarinet so as to have the mic approximately over the highest open tone holes. This way you can vary the position of the mic with reference to the place where the sound comes from the clarinet, minimize extraneous noise, control the volume level of the clarinet, and generally use the mic in an artistic way (hopefully). This can be particularly effective in the lower register. Of course this technique could not be used in most "formal" settings
