| it really, really depends on what style of music you're recording. If it's "pop" nylon, with a lot of presence, "latin" where the giner noises are part of the sound, or "classical" where the development of the sound begins a few feet away from the instrument. Be aware that a nylon is a lot quiter than a normal steel string tracking, so things like room noise, player movement, etc. make a huge difference. This last august i did a Lullabye record for an artist, all with acoustic piano and gut string. It's a trick - probably one of the harder acoustic instruments to mic well. -sm

| We ended up using an old Cole ribbon through an Avalon 737, with a bit of distance. The studio has two PZMs in the corners for room, which we added just a touch of. I'd maybe start with the royer - you're going to like the resonance of a ribbon with the nylon. -sm

 | If it's super quiet you might not get enough gain out of the R-121. If that's the case I'd give the Baby Bottle and NTK a shot. Setup both mics into two micamps and listen to both. Since it's a solo piece you might dig doing it in stereo. Mismatched mics can be good for stereo if you play with positions and the panning.
