Re: Miks

I've been looking at a number of clarinet performances on the net and quite a lot of jazz performers have the mike at the end as if it was a trumpet.

I can see from Ken's reply that ideally the mike should catch the 'sound' from the body of the clarinet depending which holes are covered and this makes sense to me.

A number of symphony performances use overhead mikes and I assume this is probably the best position.

Thanks Bob and Ken, but I would like now to take this a bit further and I appreciate that this is only a theoretical question:

What difference would there be to the sound of a clarinet sampled from by the hole compared with the sound of the same note sampled through the horn - in other words what comes out the end when only a few holes are covered?
