Help on recording tips/tools for classical flute

I'm new to recording and could use some some help on tips or tools to improve my flute recording. Currently using a Apogee Mic+ on a mic stand hang away/above about 2 feet from the performer; can't seem to get better lows or capture reverb well recording the flute, maybe I'm adding too much gain on mic.

Here is the last recording I did, any tips would be greatly appreciated:

Mic technique for piano, flute and bass flute?

Forums

I have been asked to make a stereo recording of a grand piano, flute and base flute in a small 'music room'. I have Neumann KM184s (matched pair), TML103, AKG 414s (matched pair), STC/Coles 4038. Will be using Nagra VI (4 mic channels). There will be no audience. Please can someone advise on mic placement. Many thanks, David

[Sound Library] Exotic Flutes required

hi all :)

I'm searching for professional sound libraries about exotic flutes (such as pincollo, sicus -something similar to pan flute, but from chile-, and excellent pan flute).
Any advice? that's not a matter of price (of course, I hope it will be lot reasonable :lol:) but a matter of quality :)

tnx
