How would on mic a grand, or for that matter an upright. Also how would one mic a Leslie? I have SM-58's SM-57s and MXL 990s... Let's hear it folks
 
I believe they all need to have 2 mics, not sure about a grand but I once miced an upright with one at the top with the lid open and one at the bottom with the front panel taken off. I used to own a Leslie and the same applies here one for the horn and one for the bottom rotory speaker. I'm sure there may be some other ways, but that's how I did them and I used SM 57 for them.

Cheers :)
 
What mic combo would be best for the for the leslie, my thoughts are the MXL 990 for the top and the SM57 for the top... anythoughts?
 
I would play around with different things. Though I would mic it differently. I like a stereo effect in my leslie sound, so I might use 2 mics on the top and 2 on the bottom.

Stick with the dynamics for now. (57s should be fine for this)
If they don't work, try the 990s, but don't put them too close to the Leslie.
