Recording Cello and Piano/ Cello

I’m looking for some advice on how to record solo cello and cello/ piano duo. We will record in a nice hall and have access to a beautiful collection of Neumann and Schoeps microphones.

Hi folks,

Hi,

I need to record a few classic piano students for a radio contest.
I do not have any experience in recorging grand-pianos.
Any sujestions on microphone placing will be appreciated
very much (I'll use a pare of Shure KSM27). Thanks,

Costy.

hello, i am a new one in recording...i play piano and sing..can anyone give me some advices how to record just a piano track and how to mix that it sounds good. (mic positions, pan, effects, reverb, ).

So,
still reeling from the experience a month later. I'll try to post a few bits here and there of my experience, hopefully for your amusement. As I have thought about doing this for a while, I guess I'll just start here and see how much I can manage to make into the first posting.

So here it is.

What is the best way to record a digital piano? Is it better to go frome line-out on the piano to line-in on the recorder or is it better to mike the keyboard? Thanks in advance to all that answer, Van

Hi all,
I'm really curious to hear everyone's favourite way to record the piano. To me, this is one of the most interesting challenges in recording classical music. I know it's a huge area, and there are so many ways to do it that there could be an entire classical piano forum.

What is the technique called when a piano is given that very percussive sound? Are the felt covered hammers actually exchanged with hammers without felt that are all wood for example? Are they simply covered with something hard? OR, is it an actual particular type of piano? If so, can it be done with a standard upright/grand? Any input would be great.

Take care everyone.

Ok, I've been asked by a friend of mine to record an album with her - nine songs with her, a piano, and perhaps an upright bass or saxophone occasionally.
