Experiment with different setups. With that low of a ceiling you probably are going to have to keep the mic fairly close to avoid standing waves. You'll know it if you hear a boominess in the recorded sound. Try something in the vicinity of three or four feet pointed at an axis to the bell. Keep the mic atleast two feet from the ceiling. If the room has a decent sound to it you can move further away, perhaps as much as eight feet, as long as it doesn't get boomy.. staying away from the ceiling helps with that. In my basement the acoustics stink anyhow so micing close gives better results.

good luck
