I take it you want something for your iPhone.
Have you tried Zoom mics?
https://www.zoom-na.com/products/handy-recorder/zoom-iq6-professional-stereo-microphone-iosI have the H4n and the Zoom iQ6 uses the same capsules.

The iQ6 does not require a seperate computer to download files and you can edit them on your phone, I think.
A friend of mine regularly uses a Rode for his mini-came with good results on his Steinway Ampico.
I believe Rode also makes an iPhone mic.
If you are looking to make a custome mod, others here are more informed and experienced. I don't have
those skills, so cannot say. I'm fairly happy with the Zoom for ease of use. I don't have an iPhone or I'd
get one for my phone. A friend of mine who also uses the H4n has an iPhone, so I'm going to forward
this to him as he won't have to lug around the H4n anymore.
Perhaps this is more than you want to spend.
I have a hand held that's pretty good. (Not as good as the best mics, ofcourse, but it does the job quite well.)

Subject: Microphones for recordings and live streaming
Increasingly we're going to have to face online concerts and live streaming for a while. The sound feed is vital and that's really down to microphones for a start.
Some musicians came yesterday and I did some concurrent recordings with different mics. Which sound best?

Thoughts would be appreciated. I have my own view on which sounds most natural but I think many like recorded sound to be the real thing on steroids. . . . And should one go for what sounds closest to real or that which people like most?
Many thanks
