It sounds like you don't really need oneof those expensive mikes. I
have some expensive mikes and some cheap ones.. You gotta have golden
ears to tell the difference between them. I end up using the one that I
made most of the time because it performs well and is very handy to use
for my purposes. http://www.tir.com/~liteways/Mandolin.html#Microphone
If you don't wanna make one, there are simular mike available on the
market..... You can use one of those mike that is designed for computer
sound card and get acceptable results, except that it is Mono.. You can
get two of them and get a mono to stereo adaptor for stereo recording
too.
