wow! this is lovely! please receive my maximum Upgoat for sharing the recording experience in detail. Awesome that you had some assistants to help you hahaha. Could you please tell us what microphones you used and any micing techniques you might like to share? I haven't recorded many bowed instruments and would like to learn from the experience of others.

I'm afraid that on the recording side of things... I'm a complete noob and amateur! I use a really old Edirol that must be around 7-9 years old.. and record for around 5 metres away, import to Audacity and toy around with that for a bit!
As a performer, close miking of string instruments can be a bit problematic... as they can sound noisy and scratchy close up... if you close mike, then you make the performer play in a fluffy sort of way which is not at all natural! However, due to the nature of the recording business... nowadays, there are many performers who DO play in a fluffy way!
