The MS rig would be OK but beware the ribbon (side) mic needs lot`s of gain
compared to the condercer (mid) mic. I would use condercers for both
especially as the ribbon used as side mic doesn`t affect the tone of the
instruments as much as it having totally different resp. curve makes the stereo
image unstable. You could use two ribbons in Blumlein pointing the
nulls to the steelpan assuming the ceiling isn`t low and the acoustics is nice
altogether.
