SM-57s will do on a budget. If you can find any used RE-20 for @$200 or so, that would be a significant improvement for brass, saxes and vocals. I've always used dynamic or ribbon mics for brass and reeds, although I'm sure the right condenser would do well too.
why not go with a fat head if you are on a budget. it's only 50 bucks more than the sm57 and would probably sound great
Personally, I cannot stand SM57s for brass.
hlysht. great job at making the flute look totally gay:
