Hey all > I am going on location to record a very warm, intimate sound on a bosendorfer 7 foot grand. Playing style of the pianist is on the softer side. Standards etc.
If you could bring 2 mics and stereo mic the piano what would be your top pick. Also what stereo mic preamps do you love for this kind of recording/sound.
I know it's so darn subjective, but I will be renting mics, so can go with the best. Just need to nail the call, as I will be out of town doing it.
thx in advance,
soundscore

I'd like to say DAV BG1 or BG2, but I'm waiting on mine to come in now, so I can't give a qualified opinion on that. (I know - I bought it without hearing it first. I never do that, but at that price, why the heck not!!)
