Early 2020 a group of recording engineers met up at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire to discuss and demonstrate piano recording techniques. Here, in this first video from the day, engineer Mike Thorne talks with Russell Cottier about their piano recording methods.

Special thanks to Birmingham Conservatoire for giving us access to their lovely pianos to work with and to Matthew O'Malley and Simon Hall for making it possible, not forgetting our pianist for the day, Stan, who will feature in a later video so that you can here the mic setup that is on camera here.
