So, again....


OK, the task ahead is to turn this:

...into summat worthy* by means of 'training by recording and playing
back'....!!

The question for the assembly here is 'Why stereo?' - the Kuhlau is mono and
I don't see it suffers for it?

Although, if the mic I've ordered is the biz (arrives tomorrow, hopefully) I
have the opportunity to 'twin' it fairly cheaply with a *nearly new*
secondhand one from an ad on the SOS page that Roy so kindly posted a link
thereunto....???

Apologies for quality - those are samples grabbed at random, previously
recorded on all sorts of ropey kit (including a Korg electronic piano for
the three 'Extracts', I believe) and even ropier methodology (lapel mic),
sometime in the past! :-)

(Swim would go crackers if she knew I had posted the clips - they are from
way back and nothing like her best!)

Anyways, I kinda see us doing the European circuit in a year or so's time,
with her thrashing the the joanna to death and me turning the pages, in me
satin waistcoat, patent leathers and dodgy syrup....

:-)


* Larf all yew like - the piano is not even Swim's first instrument, back in
the misty past she was on a level with Emma Johnson at one time, on the
clartus fartus...!! ;-)



No, she's good. The Korg stuff sounds like - well a Korg I suppose. I
added a touch of concert hall reverb to the first one and it perked up
no end. The Kuhlau is certainly on a much nicer sounding instrument,
and with a proper mic it will sound good.

Afraid it does miss out not being stereo, though - just the one
dimension is very strangled-sounding to me these days.
