Hello everyone,
I'd like some advice on buying a low budget microphone for recording classical piano. I've read some threads here and elsewhere but each situation is a bit different and there are so many choices that I felt I had to open my own thread.
Purpose: record my own playing, for work only. I don't intend to record something for the purpose of creating an album or posting youtube videos or whatever. It's just to be able to listen to my playing so that I can better identify weaknesses and improve.
Need: I don't need something ultra professionnal. Just accurate enough so that I can hear dynamics well.
Situation: I have an upright piano, a Yamaha U5 built in 2000; very good mechanic, nice sound, mostly equal over the whole spectrum, although a little bit weaker on the upper medium. The piano is in my living room, against a wall.
Budget: less than 100 €/$ if possible.
Many thanks for your help!
Thomas
