Microphone for Flute

Yes, I'd try to use one stereo mic for piano and flute - IF it's a nice room or hall. I prefer to let the room acoustic do the majority of the work for me. The musicians must be capable of balancing their performance. Classical musicians do that all the time, but it amazes me how many non-classical musicians can't get an ensemble balance anymore. They've gotten used to manipulating balances after the fact. The problem with that approach is that there's a big difference in instrument sound at different dynamics. It's not enough to just pull or push the level around artificially. One can get a decent balance, but the overall ensemble or duet sound can be so much better if they get the balances in the room themselves.

This man know what he's talking about!!!

I use it in M/S most of the time as well. I think the image is a bit more centered.
