mic'ing a grand piano...

[jimmy_LD]

I looked around here for this, couldn't find much.

Are there any materials out there, or posts HERE better yet, that explain the correct way to mic a grand piano?

(spatial considerations have been addressed. this will be done in a 600 seat theatre, with an electric bass, electric guitar, 2 sets of vocals, and a drumset mic'ed as well. It's pretty much just some friends and I getting together to jam...)

thanks everyone,
jimmy

Hope those help.
I'd start with the last one, read my post, I was specific on placement and type.
