Detailed information about the Earthworks PianoMic system can be found along
with recorded comparisons on the Earthworks site.  I suggest listening with
the best headphones you can get your hands on:

We've used the PM40 for about 3 years for both recording and live
performances.  Attached are a few photos from a recent session done on a
Model 220 where we used the PM40 with a set of Neumann M149s. This was about
as close to sounding like an accurate representation of the piano's sound
that I've heard.  Unfortunately, I don't have the audio files from this
session (yet).   The quality of the PM40 is comparable to the Neumann's and
although the 3k price tag may seem a little steep, it's still about 1/4 the
cost of the Neumann's. 
 
Here's a recording using just the Earthworks PM40.

I believe this is a unit I viewed on The Ravescroft that Michael Spreeman
uses. Michael?
Comments on its uses in recording?
