If you're using MK21 capsules, I wouldn't go ORTF, rather I'd take the capsules wider- try 14" or so on a long stereo bar. Should be in pretty good shape.

For classical, do NOT ever put a mic on the instrument... Just isn't going to sound good. Rather, a mic pair with a good low-end that isn't tuby is the way to go.

If you were using the same mics, one could build a central HV+heater supply. This would be a practical and elegant solution. Clean on stage or in the cloud, easy set-up and low hump factor.

Jim does great work, but you should call him to see if he'll do the new XLII mics. There is a ton of surface mount stuff in there that is going to be tough to work around.
