Hi everyone,
I have a session booked to record a baby grand piano over an Algerian fusion group which I recorded half live / half overdubbed percussion. The playing style of the pianist will be kind of cuban jazz and I want to know the best way to capture such a genre.
I have found some interesting stereo techs from the players perspective, above the strings & even one from the 'tail' of the piano.
I know that I will be using a single (C414 or else U87) to get a usable mono signal with 1 or 2 ambience mics (DPAs if they're not used for main stereo array).

So mainly. what do you think would be the best stereo configuration for a jazzy baby grand piano? The track is quite busy in the hi & hi-mids so I'm looking for a solid mid pickup to give this element it's own place.

Thanks for anyones help. :D
