Mics for Violins

[Owen]

I need to mic up a couple of Violins. I'm looking for clip on mics rather than mics on stands. Any suggestions?

TIA

Are they for high-volume situations? If so, you're probably going to struggle with clip-on mics.

LR Baggs bridge pickup, all the way... you get a bit of bow noise but it's lost in a band environment.

If it's for a low-volume stuff, Audio Technica do one which works well.

It's for church. High volume is not really an issue

Tie-clip microphones from Jessops. About 20 quid each. Should do nicely.
