 Current setup: AKG C1000S under the music stand pointing at ~45 degree angle upward somewhere at the instrument.
+
+== Piano
+
+Current setup: Beta 87A somewhere in the middle of the instrument. Requires a boom stand.
+
+Oleg's notes: I want to try one of the AT841UG boundary condensers taped to the top cover pointing down at the strings in addition to the Beta 87A. When the piano has a house mic on it, we generally use those currently, although I'm not convinced they would be always better than a dialed-in setup we can bring ourselves.
+
+== Percussion
+
+Current setup: SM57 pointing somewhere toward the musician.
+
+Oleg's notes: The mic generally works well, most of the percussion is audible in the mic. I would try to ensure the mic is pointing at all of the various devices being employed to generate noise. For something that is held closer to the musician I feel that the mic is either too far away or too far off-axis to generate great results.
+
+== Overhead
+
+Current setup: 991 pointing toward the tom from above the drum kit.
+
+Oleg's notes: TBD, pending review of 1/20 concert where overhead and tom/snare mics were separate.
+
+== Tom/Snare
+
+Current setup: PG48 pointing at the snare.
+
+Oleg's notes: TBD, pending review of 1/20 concert recording.
+
+== Kick Drum
+
+Current setup: AKG D112 pointing at the floor tom.
+
+Oleg's notes: I think I should be getting more bass output from this mic, don't know if this should be achieved via a placement change or EQ. Review 1/20 concert recording where the mics should have been placed by the drummer.
