What is your friend's budget?
Where does your friend want to acquire this mic?
Why does he think he wants to BUY a microphone
for a temporary project?

Good luck if he hopes to construct an authentic-sounding violin sample
set :-) Stick to the programmed sounds.

But he could get some useful drum sounds. Actually, going too "hi-fi"
on this sort of job can be counter-productive. What's he got lying
around for e.g. recording vocals?

Not temporary at all ... heis a very serious musician .

If I had to own one good microphone, it would probably be a good omni.
Try B&K 4006, Sennheiser MKH-20 or MKH-8020, or one of the Schoeps
Collette mikes with a free-field omni capsule.

He will consider a range of prices and decide .

From anywhere where airmail works and visa is respected ...

Skip the violin. Too much of the sound is interpretation while playing.
There's no way to duplicate the variety in real time on a keyboard.

If he wants a string section filler, mellotron kind of sound, that's easy.
But a solo violin requires a violinist to manipulate the synthesizer. Sort
of cancels out the advantages.

The room you do it in is at least as important. You want a really dead room.
Then, close mic with a measurement-type mic like the Behringer ECM 8000.
