Shez Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I would have thought a pair of small diaphragm condensors set about a foot away should cover it well. Is it on a noisy stage where spill might be an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.swart916 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 I am also thinking the same thing. Thinking the Shure Beta 98A. Small,condenser and cardioid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Siddons Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Santoor is to my eyes a Hammered Dulcimer, my solution would be two pencil condensors pointed over the top down to the middle of the instrument Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laolu Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 There is a similar chinese instrument called Yang Qin, and some musicians here told me to point the microphones from the bottom up towards the instrument, where it has a few openings. But my own experiment shows that pickung up its sound from the top brings out more highs and generally sounds just more natural.Maybe they just didn't want the mics in front of them, to be visible :P Norbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
