Default Micing a harp

In about 6 weeks, I need to record a performance that includes a pedal
harp. I've never had to mic such an instrument before so I'd like some
opinions on the best way to tackle it.


A BBC training manual suggests that if you are experiencing a lot of
pedal and mechanism noise, placing the mic a couple of feet behind the
player's head will screen it from the worst of that noise without
spoiling the sound of the harp.

It sounds as if this is not going to be much help in your particular
circumstance this time, but I mention it for future reference.
