A piano is one of the most difficult instruments to record. Although this is not perfect, here is an attempt to capture the sounds of an Aeolian Duo/Art player piano. As the rolls played, the sound was recorded on 1/4" reel to reel tape at 15 ips, then encoded to Mp3. A microphone was placed at each end of the sound board, creating a stereo effect.
