re: #24 Belafon

Just to let everyone know, I don’t think they’re up to thinking about recording yet. They’re experimenting, playing on instruments they don’t otherwise get to play on (my son, the keyboardist, is a percussionist in band; the sax player plays the flute; the bass play played cello; and the drummer and electric players aren’t in music at school). It’s also an excuse to get together so their moms will let them hang out. But they’re wanting to do a little performing, and would like a couple of mics. I’m not sure when they’re going to want to think about recording.

I’ve read a lot of your suggestions, and am bookmarking various things.

Here is a fairly cheap possibility. I think it only comes with one mic, but won’t break the bank, especially if it ends up not being used for long.

Here is a list of mics from the same company. Some are fairly inexpensive and may be suitable for your application:
