[QUOTE="Clarke LaPlante, post: 15998, member: 18"] Re: Suggest a mic mount for this grand piano Two questions: One, is there a ''shelf'' on the underside of the piano body, near where the pedal mechanics meet the frame? The Kawai and Steinway pianos I have dealt with in the past have had this, and made an excellent place to put a boundary style mic. Two, if the answer to question one above is ''yes'', do you have a PZM mic? If so, place it on the aforementioned ''shelf'' and Bob is your father's brother. I have used this method several times in the past when I couldn't get a mic inside the piano for whatever reason, and it has worked pretty well for different musical situations. I suspect that in a small room you should be able to get pretty good results, though it may take a bit of EQ correction. You may have trouble if the pianist needs a loud monitor, but other than that, you should get very useable results. -C [/QUOTE]
