Though I realize that most of the discussion in this news group does not 
refer to acoustic instruments, some does and so I thought I'd request some
advice regarding recording acoustic piano.

I tend to use acoustic piano in a lot of my recording but am not very
satisfied with my results. Since I am far from a recording expert, I am
probably neglecting all sorts of things by simplying using a reasonable
quality microphone ($150 range) mounted on a boom and swung over the harp
of my grand. Does anyone have any experience or tips to share with this
sort of requirement?

Since I don't have a lot of choice as to the location of the piano (it goes
where it fits ...), there is not a lot I can do about the room, so I am
specifically interested in hearing if there are any recommended microphones,
locations of microphones, number of them, etc.

I suspect this might be of general interest, but if people prefer to reply to
me by mail, I'll summarize responses on the net.
