I set up an MS pair with the negative side tilted lower towards the bottom end and the positive side tilted up and away from the top end as demonstrated in Michael Stavrou’s book Mixing With Your Mind (pp92-93). This sounded good as it had ‘air’ but the tops sounded a little too close to my ears. I then placed the mics about 15cm further out and this resulted in a more darker even sound with the bottom end solid and the top notes fading off. It sounded better to me but still had a slightly mid sound to it. A bit more adjusting finding the mid area and pointing the dead side of the MS directly at it should get better results in the future. A spaced pair was also set up. The spaced pair consisting of NT5’s, each one placed mid way between strings and lid at each end of the piano, sounded overly bright to me but stereo wise sounded even across the speakers.
