Default Re: Mic and tips for recording flute

Well, I'd think that it would really need to cut in a dense mix and so you may get away with something like a AT4033 (but that can be one aggressive mic). Of course, the mic will dull up quite a bit if you put a bag over it, leave it in its case, or angle it a little. (The latter being the most realistic solution).

In the more sparse arrangements, you'll probably want it sounding a little "creamier". I'd reach for a ribbon microhone if you have one, but there are probably certain condensers that would be good for this.

In reality, positioning is the most important factor here (assuming the flute sounds good in the room).
