Miking the accordian

[11miles]

hey

I have this project tomorrow.
I need to record an accordian.
I want to hear soem advice on what is the best way to do it?

I thought i would use 2 mike's. Each for it's own registry.
Mike it with a pair of good condenser like AKG 414. Cardiod pattern and not very far away form the reso wholes!

Anyone had any good expirience?

2 to 3* out from the accordian is usually a good starting point.





*Note:

The * signifies "Units Of Measure". For some engineers recording accordians, the units of measure may be feet, houses, blocks, counties, or states.

Bagpipes use similar units of measure.

Bagpipes I can understand micing from miles away, but accordian??? Surely the signal to traffic ratio would be horrid.
