I would say micing technique is the way to go and most important in this instant. like some had already said and off the top of my head...close mic and far mic to get a room sound to make is sound bigger or roomy and then panning of your choice. i would say he won't know if you do double in a discrete way but hey he is the client and if he wants it that way then do it... if it doesn't work out great and becomes a nightmare to mix tell him how it is what the problem is and take it from there. some musicians think they are really smart and heard there favorite band did something in an article somewhere and these things come up. I had a duo that came in and wanted to have a white stripes garage sound and thought using all crappy mics would be the way to do this along with no bass, go figure. They ended up cutting a bass and everything changed accept the crappy drum mics stayed on. i ended up getting not nearly as much as i should of for the demo and all the actual production and clean up of the band i did in general. they ended up getting a lot of gigs off the demo and even 5 plays as the stage house band for that demo...i thought it wasn't great and was too hard on myself but looked like it worked and should have charged more...lesson learned i suppose.
