Depends upon many factors but what you want to get is the sound you like to hear. The better the microphone the better the recording. Recorders are of less consequence unless they are mechanically inferior. Things to avoid, Use a cardioid instead of an omnidirictional mic Avoid hammer impact noise avoid mechanical noise from the action and pedals Miking closer is better than further Use two mics if possible, one in the bass one in the treble. Using one mic place in the middle of the soundboard Use new blank tape Lots of luck and happy music. Newton
