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.

This will be a classical recording in a good room. If you have done this,
please let me know how you felt about the results, and what else you have
used that you would consider comparable. Thanks.

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.
