Piano recording is my speciality.

I use a Nagra VI recorder.

I use omni mics and have the following to choose from (all pairs):
MKH 20
MKH 8020
KM 183-D
KM 131-D
I am also considering a pair of MBHO sub-cardioids as well.

Normally only a single pair is required - but the extra tracks of the Nagra give me the opportunity to add room mics further back.

On the recordings I did last week I used a pair of KM 131-D and a Soundfield SPS200 as a room mic. as I am not editing this one and the client requested the room mics (but I think I got it all with the main pair).

I monitor with K+H O110D, HD 800 & HD 25-1 with Grace m902b.

I hope this helps.
