10/10/08Eleanor Plunkett on whistle,fiddle,hammered dulcimer
10/10/08 Eleanor DeHaai a.k.a. Trillian Bluejacket sends: "I've been experimenting with mic placement when recording my hammer dulcimer. In this recording of "Eleanor Plunkett" I placed the mic on a little stool directly beneath the soundboard. Although the sound quality still isn't what I'm aiming for, it's better than it was with the mic placed above or beside the instrument. I love to multi-track, so for fun I added a soft violin harmony and a bit of whistle. I'm having some weird spasmodic thing going on with my right hand, so while recording I was wearing a wrist brace to try to steady it. My hammer dulcimer is a Rick Thum, my violin a Jacobus Hornsteiner, and the whistle a Burke brass narrow bore D. The microphone is a Samson CO1U USB Studio Condenser. (saved in slow airs)
