Great demo! I'd love to try one of these pianos out for myself. It's interesting that you recorded this using a combination of the Zoom H8 stereo microphones, and line out from the NU1XA. I'm just wondering if the top lid opens like on an acoustic piano, to let more treble frequencies escape from the cabinet like it would on an acoustic instrument?
Thanks for your comment! It was an experiment - I’ve noticed that recording directly with the line out can sometimes result in a clinical sound, so I wanted to add some ambience with the mics. Next time, I’ll position the unit closer to the piano as I think the mics were a bit too far away. The lid doesn’t open on this particular model.
