Adventures and Surprises in recording flute

Right off, if you are a looking for professional info, I am an amateur just learning to play flute and my primary interest in recording the flute is to hear what I sound like, not produce recordings.

Microphones I have experimented with:
R0de NT-1A large diameter (1") studio condenser mic
Shure SM-57 "instrument" dynamic mic
Smart Music Instrument Clip On electret condenser mic
Barcus Berry Flute Stopper transducer (inside flute headjoint)
RadioShack/Crown 33-1090 at 12v Pressure Zone Microphone
Tascam Headset electret condenser mic
Tascam PocketStudio builtin electret condenser mic

Other equipment:
Behringer UB1002 mixer
Tascam PocketStudio 5 (PS5) multi-track digital recorder
Andrea PC100 3v phantom power adapter (replaced 3.5mm with 1/4" mono plug)
BarcusBerry 3000A pre-amp
Computer speakers (internal amplifier)
Sony headphones (fit too tight, and I think an open phone might server better)

Signal Paths:
NT-1A-> mixer (supplying 48v phantom power)-> PS5 line input
SIM mic-> Andrea PC100 3v Phantom Power Adapter-> mixer -> PS5 line input
BarcusBerry-> BarcusBerry 3000A preAmp -> mixer -> PS5 line input
SM-57-> mixer -> PS5 line input

I am still experimenting with various microphone positions but had one surprising finding very quickly - The $10 Smart Music Instrument Mic is a great microphone. I clip it to the left side of the lip plate and turn it around so it faces my cheek, out of the way of the air stream. It has amazing presence, which I like, but also catches alot of breath noise since I am quite noisy when gasping for air. I run the mixer gain at about 2 o'clock (about +3dB I think) to be a little below 0dB on the high loud notes with levels set to 0dB.

The NT-1A is very nice, not harsh at all. I've been trying it at 8" to 3 feet and have not decided where I like the recording better.

I have figured out that my room has quite a bit of reflections, so medium auditorium in CoolEdit Pro is a little too much reverb in the mix-down. I don't want to change the spare bedroom feel of the room, so the walls are not going to grow sound absorbers. It is carpeted, and has a major comforter on the bed, but the walls are very reflective. The SmartMusic Clip-on mic, and the Barcus Berry transducer are not affected by the room acoustics very much, but the Barcus Berry pics up too much key noise. My teacher says that the newer BB pic-ups have better mechanical isolation than my "all one piece" transducer.

I've got lots more to tell, including CoolEdit frequency analysis comparisons and some example recordings naturally, but have run out of time at the moment.
