Two questions that folks on this group might have good answers for. The
context is that I'm upgrading the sound system for an old church. Budget
is minimal; so, thankfully, are expectations.

1) I need a mic on the piano. It needs to be able to work with lid open
or shut. It needs to be permanently attached - no gaff tape! Less than
$200 would be nice. Any recommendations? (Sorry, I don't subscribe to
Recording - I saw the mention of the article there.)

2) The mic lines will need to run about 100' through a cold-air return
under the sanctuary. Am I correct that this means I should be using
plenum rated cable, rather than my old standby Belden 9451? Is there a
similarly "standard" plenum rated cable that everyone uses for fixed
installs?

Thanks!

Walter, this question will probably get more attention over on
alt.audio.pro.live-sound.
