Re: Recording the Piano DV Magazine

Thanks for the link, I'll add it to my collection.

I shuddered a bit when I read "Before You Start".

"a squirt of WD40" and "rubbing candle wax" are comments that bother me quite a bit.  Why not call in a reputable piano technician?  I certainly wouldn't rely on the sound engineer to get this right.

A few more from my collection:

Re: Recording the Piano DV Magazine

when the piano technician is gone, and the session has begun, you, as the sound engineer, have to be able to provide solutions when a problem arises... I even always take a tuning lever with me. Should just one string go bad, I can help. It happened :-)
