One reason for this is that when these guys record, they have a particular "sound" they are looking for. To achieve this they need consistancy. Wayne says that with the same piano in the same room that the piano will sound "bigger" some days than others. I'm not really sure what he means by that but there it is. I have heard that for miking up close to the piano that you don't want to stretch the octaves as much as for a big concert hall acoustic situation. By the way, Bruce has excellent ears. good night.....Dan J (not a PTG member but not totally unknown)
