Ive had good luck with using an SM-57 straight down the bell of a trumpet. It actually sounds better than mic's 100x the price.

For saxophone I normally use a Sennheiser 421 pointed at side of the instrument because most of the sound comes out of the side holes, not the bell.

For a trombone, and all the lower instruments a larger diaphragm mic in the sound hole works nicely
