Fired up the laptop and broke out the mics for the first time in ages over christmas. Really enjoying getting stuck back in. As a big bonus, I recently had my old 1920s upright tuned to pitch so I can add joanna to my ramshackle folkpop efforts. During quiet passages recorded with a single condenser my annoying nose-breathing is annoyingly audible. Gonna have to re-think mic positioning and...?

Did you open the lid and point the mic inside? That's how I've done a similar thing, lots of felt and pedal noise but for my purposes that wasn't so bad. didn't pick up too much of my tutting and swearing over lack of skill

Kinda, I took the top and front panel off and pointed a condenser over my shoulder at the sound board. Realised afterwards that I’d left the variable pattern on the mic to omni, which was exacerbating pick-up of my breathing. Moved it closer and set to cardioid… much better.
