The height and distance out will depend on your room. You should probably think in acoustical terms. Place the mics in the mid-field of reverberation. ie not too close and not so far that you are only getting reflected sound. You want a combination of direct and reflected.

Recording acoustic music is as much about micing the room as the performer.
