The idea is to hear the sound of the instrument, straight from the pickup
as I stated previously.

Using a DI doesn't give the sound of the instrument, though, Iain.

It's all pretty academic really, as you almost
certainly will not bother to make the comparison I described:-)

It is indeed. Do you use contact mics on a decent piano to get 'the sound
of the instrument' too?
