Planning on recording my dobro here soon but have never recorded such an instrument before. Any miking techniques or recording tips yall can give me?


thanks!
 
I play mine lap-style, with a steel, and aim a small condenser (SM81, typically) at either the sound hole or the resonator, depending on the sound I want. Sometimes I substitue a large condenser, again, depending on the sound. Resophonics are easy to mic, in my experience -- there's less resonance from other locations on the guitar, compared to acoustics.
