Hi!

What kind of microphone is the best choice for uilleann pipes?
Perhaps classical Shure SM 57-58?

Thanks!

Are you looking for a microphone for recording or live performance?

Both, live concerts and home recordings (Yamaha W16C studio).

I’m thinking in Shure SM58 or Sennheiser E835 (I’m looking for an economical solution, about 100-200€).

Thanks!

Well - that might be the most economical way… but realize that the SM57 is a ‘universal’ mic - typically one used for screaming head-banger-type vocals.

If money is no object*, well, there are other (read that: “better”) alternatives.
