I am in need of a good set of matched stereo mics

Best mics to record Bosendorfer grand piano
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.

Which microphone for Flute?
I was recording a Flute and Behringer ECM-8000 worked quite well. Is there any other mic you would suggest? I was recording a bamboo (wooden) flute which has a hollow sound. I want to hear more round and warm sound without the windy effect.

Using Omni As Centre Mic in MS Array
First, let me apologise for hogging posts by posting two in a row but I am on holidays.
I have been doing mid side recording now for some time in a variety of contexts (foley, recording ensembles, choir) and using a variety of mic set ups. Usually I am using Sennheiser. MHH40/30 with rather loose middle provided by the MKH40. I like this technique.

A few "newbie" questions about mics
Hello, I am new to recording in general. I have been able to figure out most things on my own after throwing hours on the problems, but I have been having some trouble recording vocals. I am using a DPO1 (because of my tight budget). As you may know if you are familiar with this recorder there are no XLR type inputs. So I have been got a cable that could go directly into my DPO1.

has anyone tried this mic technique on piano?
Modern Jazz/Rock Ballad Place the mics in a 45 degree angle, one facing the keyboard and one facing the other end of the piano. The microphones can be from 6" to 3' apart, but if you spread them out you should decrease the angle. The mics should be about halfway between the strings and the lid (the lid should be all the way up), 6-12 inches inside the harp.
BLUE "Red" Microphone...anyone?
Anyone here ever tried out the Red mic made by BLUE? I love the idea of interchangable capsules and have trusted BLUE for quality mics (tey're a part of my closet!). I was just hoping to get some feedback from someone who's actually tried it out. I'm thinking about buying one and I'd like to hear some first-hand reviews. Thanks in advance for all of your time.
