Default Rode NT2-A and NT5 in XY for Classical Grand Piano?

"Harry Lavo" wrote in message

Anybody have experience with the latest Rode NT2-A's or
the Rode NT5's for recording grand piano. I plan
(probably) to use XY, but may also try ORTF or even
spaced Omni/Cardiod's since I've only recorded one quick
take in this space before.


Everybody who has used a NT4 has in effect used a pair of NT5s. The NT4 is a
good all-around mic, suffering mostly from being bulky, heavy, and ugly. I'd
use a NT4 to record a piano (preferably with a couple of spot mics to
provide more options for the mix-down), in a heartbeat.
