How do you mic a violin?
Position it out and up from the instrument. Point it toward the area where the bow plays. Large diaphragm condenser microphones (in a cardioid pattern) generally sound good on violins, violas, and cellos alike. A close ribbon mic sounds great in combination with a small or large diaphragm mic (at more of a distance).
