The audio for the video above was recorded on the McKnight Diamond using the internal mics on a Zoom H4 portable recorder - not too bad for such a small device, eh? The song was recorded in a large room where I work (30' x 60' with 16' ceilings) with the mics positioned approximately 1 foot from the guitar.

Many thanks to Tim & Mary McKnight for allowing me to spend some time with this wonderful instrument. Thanks also to David Hilyard for providing many of the photos used in the video.
