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!) www.kentswafford.com/mp3/5pianos.mp3 Kent Swafford
