recording a harp

Has anyone one ever mic'd up an orchestra harp for recording ? (solo performance) Should i use condenser mics ? ( 4 shure sm 81's available)
It will be a natural volume "good room" situation,nice natural "woody" acoustics - no audience or outside noise. Any advice would be appreciated. We have the room for two days so i would like to try a few different techniques,i.e close micing,room micing and/or a combination of the above.
While i have your attention,how about a Sennheieser 421 for recording a french horn ?
