    OK, another opinion. I not only work as a sound engineer and owned a commercial
    studio facility but also play the bodhran among other things. Here's what I like to use:
    For recording: An AKG D112 on the back side about 4 to 6" from the back side of
    the drum AND an AKG414 or Shure SM81 on the front side about 6" away. I usually
    roll off a bit of the higher mids and upper frequencys to help eliminate some
    of the hand scraping noise on the D112 (back) side. Its' also important to use
    the phase reversal on the board in case you get some cancellation at the mics (good chance there will be some.)

    Live: I like using the D112 or a Sennheiser MD421on the back side and that's it.

    It's important to note that two exact models of mics will sound different. Also, the board will induce it's own sound as will it's EQ.
    Audio is a complicated variable and these are only guidelines stemming from personal experience.

    Hi Frank. What clip would you use to attack the D112 on to the Bodhran rim?
