Can anyone steer me in a good direction on the following:

	In a couple of weeks, I will need to record the sound of some smallish
organs.  Audiophile recording is not needed;  what is required is that I
capture the essential musical qualities of the instruments -- how the pipes
speak and how the stops blend.  32' pedal base is not a requirement.

	Does anyone have suggestions on a servicible mike for the job?
Any reasonably good experience with an economical mike will do.  I will
probably be using a home tape deck with headphone monitoring;  I don't even
have a 3-head machine.

	Are there any simple ways to get started with the mike placement?
One friend suggests using a pair of cardoids about one foot apart and about ten
feet from the instrument.  If I start with this, are there any pitfalls I
should be aware of?

	Advice will be much appreciated.  For those in AT&T Holmdel, I can
be reached at ISL extension 2375.
