Recording a violin

Hi guys,
I need suggestions about how to record my violin. Last recording session I put a Sennheiser ME 64 at 20 cm from the top of the violin. The high frequencies were too strong. Was the mic to close? I need the mic to be close to the instrument because I don't record in a soundproof studio. Furthermore, have you a diagram with the propagation angle of the frequencies of the violin?
Thank you in advance.

I would use a AKG C-1000 (not the best surgestion but it works for me) about 20-30cms above. If not then an AKG 414 might sound pretty sweet. No i dont work for AKG
