Ok. I recorded a middle school piano recital last week, and placed the mics about 2 feet or so (0.5m) away from the lid of the piano. Mics were placed away from the crook of the piano in a DIN sorta set up-capsules about 8 inches (20cm) but angled more like 75 degrees instead of 90. Basically, one mic pointed towards the hammers, and the other towards the end of the piano. The piano was a Yamaha C5. recording venue was a small church with decent sound, although with the close miced situation, you won't really hear that. I added a small amount of reverb so it's not so dry. Ideally, I would've liked to have placed the mics about another foot out (1 meter total) so to not make it so intimate. But nevertheless, I think the results are pretty good.
I have to say that I'm much happier with this result, and feel these mics are very capable of achieving a wonderful sound when placed properly (although that can be said for almost any mic).
Let me know what you think.
