My ancient Shure PZM is taped in place on the underside of the Kawai grand's
lid with Scotch industrial-strength double-sided adhesive tape. Right over
the middle of the metal frame. The tape came from Staples and is very
effective at everything but being removable. I don't know if it will ever be
removed.

When the piano went in for a thorough rebuild, the mic was left in place.
It's been there for at least 5 years. I spent about a year using carpet tape
to attach the mic, moving it around for best sound. Carpet tape would start
loosening after a few weeks. I eventually found the current attachment
point.

It takes a ton of parametric eq to make the signal from the PZM have nearly
the same tone as the live tone of that piano, but it is worth it the
trouble. Right now, all that happens when I boost the gain on the PZM is
that it gets louder. All the gain I want and no problems with feedback on
that mic. It blends almost perfectly with its natural sound out in the
room.

That explains that.
