Eddie, to be clearer, I meant if I can choose or bring a mic for horns, I like to use one of the two choices I listed. One mic at a time. To do otherwise introduces phasing considerations etc.

I have on occasion had recording engineers use two mics on my horn in a Blumlein pattern, though.

The only instrument I play that they always like to use two mics on is a vibraphone.

The acoustic guitar can really benefit with two mics as you say, and if it has a pickup, blending in a little of that, too. Whole different subject.
