Or at least some tips to help a noob.

my recommendation for a solo violin would be a blumlein pair of ribbon mics at about 3-4 feet distance, 6 feet high, aimed straight on at the player's body.

i've found that the best sound i get (to my ears) is to place the mic overhead pointing directly down at the bridge of the violin (2-3 feet usually).

Oh yeah and: Should i buy the Spider Mount?
