| A stereo mic setup is probably a good idea but I think I need individual mics too.
Why? I'm not arguing with you; I'm curious why you think you will need the other mics? What would you suggest for the Bösendorfer? I think most of the older Neumann models are available.
This ties back to the question above; do you need to mic the piano separately? Just for discussion purposes, let's assume you do; the options are almost endless...... You mentioned older Neumanns, so how about a SM2 / SM23 stereo mic. Did you plan on mic'ing the individual instruments in stereo, or mono?
These kind of sessions are my favorite as you actually get to hear complete performances in the studio. If the band is up to the task, there is little for you to do other than stay out of the way. Have fun!
