How about other 'acoustic' instruments? There's a lot more than drum kit and guitars as instruments?!

i.e.

violin: mono - SF-1, stereo - AEA R-88
dbl. bass: 4038/R-121, and in a good bleed/good room, EW's TC30k
cello: same as bass, but often TC30k's a few feet back
trumpet: 4038/R-121
trombone: 4038/R-121 or RE-20/Senn.441 or if played quietly, a U67
tenor sax: U67
alto sax: Beyer 160/M500NC
tuba: 4038/R-121
mandolin: KM-84/KM-56
dobro: 4038
banjo: 4038, and sometimes TC30k depending on the style
stereo choral: AEA R-88
stereo string section: AEA R-88

etc., etc., etc.,

I know there's way more than these, but it's a start!
