Does anyone have experience recording the musical saw? I'm going to be recording my grandfather-in-law (playthesaw.com). I''m thinking to approach it like a string instrument (violin), possibly cascade fathead(s) or blue bluebird.
With unusual instruments and sounds (and I record lots of weird things when doing Foley and Sound FX) I like lots of mics if I have the option. When a person is playing an instrument or manipulating something for a sound effect in addition to the "best mic in the best position" I like one over the shoulder, another in an odd close-in position and especially a - preferably stereo - room mic. Lots of interesting results.
Just my 2 ducats.
