[CAUT] 5 Pianos

[Kent Swafford]

I've been playing with a field audio recorder. I've taken it around to  
5 tunings, played the same music on each freshly tuned piano, with the  
mics always placed at the bridge and strut just below the top 2  
sections. I edited all the recordings together, processing all the  
recordings identically. Close miking tends to minimize the effects of  
recording in wildly different rooms. All of the pianos are "concert"  
grands. Anyone care to play "Name that piano" and/or express  
preferences for the piano sounds? I think it's an interesting group of  
pianos. (I wish the playing was better, but hey, we're trying to deal  
with reality, here!)
