There are a couple of different ways I found work best. As Art suggested, a 57 or 58 in one of the sound holes works remarkably well, and is always a quick and dirty choice for when I am working quickly. If you're looking for more attack and the sound of the hammer, I like a pair of SDCs above the hammers, at about 1/4 of the way from the edge of the piano on each side, maybe 1-3" away from the player. Works very well for more percussive pop styles. For classical, there are so many different options depending on what you have to work with in terms of time, space, visual considerations, and so on, but they work best with a pair of LDCs IMO.</p></blockquote><p></p>
