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.


I'm sure she'd be pleased to here that - it's her current (keeper) piano!!

'Here that'...?

(How *does* that happen...??)

As to 'good' - no-one's making anything like that sort of claim, but it will
be interesting to see how it goes..!!! ;-)



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


So how would you set up *two* mics to record the single intrument - on a
'clamp' just so far apart? And what about orientation, where do you point
them for a *stereo* effect? The mic site (presuming a single mic, I suppose)
says 12 - 18" over the strings...???

(I don't rule out the stereo pair and mixer - it's just that I wanted to
'trial it' with the minimum complication...!! :-)
