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. <BR> <BR>Here's a recording using just the Earthworks PM40.  <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQXPVG_LXuU&list=UUOs5Mzk0G9CtJGr0SJtiE5g&index=4&feature=plcp">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQXPVG_LXuU&list=UUOs5Mzk0G9CtJGr0SJtiE5g&index=4&feature=plcp</a><br><br><BR><div><em><font color="#330033"><font color="#330000" face="Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif">Michael Spreeman </font><br></font></em><font color="#000066"><a href="http://www.RavenscroftPianos.com">www.RavenscroftPianos.com</a></font></div><div><font color="#000066"></font> </div><br> <BR><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling"><br><font color="navy" size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif">I be<font color="navy" size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif">lieve this is a unit I viewed on The Ravescroft that Michael Spreeman uses.
