Back in the 80s when I recorded woodwinds like flute and sax, it was a LDC about four to six feet away from the horn, directly in front of the player, in a really good room with a really good player. The sound from a flute or other woodwind comes from all over the horn, not just at one place, so you can't close mic it. The room is going to be part of the sound, so you can't record it in a vocal booth, for example.
