[CAUT] Re: piano miking

[Elwood Doss]

I won't be able to attend the PTG Convention/Institute this summer, but
I would very much like to have a course such as Fred (and others)
describe taught on a fairly regular basis.  It would be of great help to
me, I know.
Joy!

    I'd love to see a class on the subject of miking, both for recording
and
for amplification. Chris has a very good point about not pretending we
know
more than we do, and giving advice to professionals who don't want it.
But
there have been a number of occasions where a sound person or a
recording
person has asked me for an opinion - they may be good sound or recording
people, but don't know the piano. It would be good to have some basic
background.
