| Harps are sometimes mic'd with two mics, one for the lower strings and one for the higher strings, similar to the way you might mic a grand piano. You may get more even coverage if you keep the mics at least a couple of feet away from the strings, but you can't always get away with that. You'll need mics that sound good at a distance and you'll need a good sounding room for that. You may want to try adjusting the mic position while wearing headphones. DP |

| Go for condensers. It's nice to have a stereo pair, one mic for upper and one for lower register. Kalli |

| Remember that much of the sound comes from the soundboard and that that occupies a fair amount of space. Getting too close with your mic(S) will not give the overall sound of the instrument. |
