Recording guitar, vocals, cello, violin LIVE with 2 mics?

Forums

I'm recording a songwriter with 1 large condenser; vocals and acoustic guitar. Also, I'm Micing a cello, and a violin with a RODE ntg-2 shotgun. I'm running both into a Zoom H4N recorder. 

Here's a mock-up of how I intend to set up. Nix the back-up singers. Any ideas or tips?
Much appreciated!

Better Live Vocal Mics

Forums

Anyone care to offer first-hand advice about buying better-than-average vocal mics for live performance? I am a part-time audio engineer for a small church. We could use some new mics. I currently use the SM58 and the Electro-Voice N/D767a. I have heard the beta 87a and talked to engineers who like it a lot. I have also used the AKG c1000 for some quick vocal recording.
