Default violin micing techniques

Anyone know anything about recording violin? I plan to do some this weekend, but don't have a clue.

This'll be mellow folksy stuff, and the player is not highly accomplished, so it'll be mostly long slow strokes, neither country/bluegrass fiddle nor classical style.

It's a regular acoustic violin, but it has a pickup, so I'll probably do a direct input, which leaves me up to 3 mic inputs with my current system. For mics, I have:
-Kel Audio HM-1
-MXL 990
-MXL 991
-Behringer C2 (matched pair)
-Sennheiser MD518
-EV N/D258
and I could probably borrow an SM57

Any suggestions which mics and placements might work best?

Thanks,
