Microphones for dizi/xiao?

[lbowen]

I've been looking for a relatively cheap microphone for my dizi (so I can run it through lots of guitar effects pedals), but all taobao seems to have are ones over 1000rmb...

What do other people use? I'm especially interested in clip on/in-flute mics.

Ibowen,

This issue has been discussed before to some extent. Please consult

I use the laptop microphone to record, and the results can be found in my postings on

If these threads don't really answer your question, please ask again.

Hi Allen,

Thanks, that is relevant, but I was more looking for specific models that people have used, especially from taobao (they have some great flutes on there, even 篪!) and especially for live performance. My teacher told me his mic is in-flute and for just 600rmb, but I haven't seen anything like that on taobao.
Again, thanks very much

Dragona,

Which part are you not clear about? Could you elaborate?
