With mics like a U87, you can place it in front of an instrument and know the result you will get. Sure, it may not be the best mic for that instrument, but it'll work, and work okay or better.

Hey buddy, saxophones are reed instruments!
(But it's a common issue of contention. In my case, I was playing through a plastic mouthpiece, with a loose embouchure: it had more reed qualities than horn qualities for that take, IMO).
