Re: Condenser Mic Comparison.
Bowl-backs are tricky to mic. Quite low volume output (compared to most mandolins) and using 'normal' clip-on mics is very difficult due to fixing issues. Normally played sitting down, right? In which case a small boom mounted mic should be fine. The other alternative a lav mic attached via clip to the edge of the soundhole - but these can pick up finger and handling noise due to lack of mechanical isolation.
