We recorded a classical piece today using our Yamaha GC-1 baby grand piano. We wanted a few sound options during mixdown so we set up several sets of microphones as seen in this photo:

 

-Neumann U87i as mono microphone

-Pair of AKG 414’s in X/Y configuration

-SRM-1 Stereo Ribbon Microphone in Blumlein configuration

-Lewitt LCT 040 (Located under the piano)

HERE’S A VIDEO that includes the final audio recording.
