Your friendly neighborhood dinosaur here. For guitar or dulcimer, a couple of SM57s. (I have a friend who insists on singing with one). They, along with the cockroaches, will survive a nuclear winter. Mine are going on 15 yrs. old (the mics, not the roaches).
And that's only if I'm not plugging in to the house system or they have better instrument mics. (Used to use a Beta58A for vocals, but now an Audix OM5 if there's no phantom power or Beta 87A if there is...and again, only if my mics are better than the house's).
