So, I've got a dude coming over to play some sitar for a recording. I will be using an AKG Perception 420. Bare in mind that P420 mic has three modes: omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure 8. I will be recording at my small house. The problem is that I have wooden floors and not much stuff in the hoiuse to soak up reverb. Any tips on how to record here?

One of my daughter's friends is spending her HS senior year at a school in India and is getting sitar lessons. She'll be bringing one back in June. She and Alice have been singing and performing together since fourth grade. It will be interesting to see if the sitar fits into the mix. So I'm curious about how to record one. Any pointers?

This sounds not bad, usable even... It's fun to play too.
