Re: Amplification..
DPA 4099. Very natural tone, good feedback rejection if you place it close enough to the instrument. Needs phantom power if running into a mixer, but also works with bias voltage from a wireless body pack transmitter. Might need a slight roll-off on the highs depending on what kind of PA gear you're using and the room acoustics. I've used this series of mics on fiddle and acoustic guitar too with great results.
