Recording Live Piano

[Robert27191]

Hi,

Does anyone record piano live, as opposed to using a digital set? With a limited set of mics (two, but at times only 1) what is the best way to record the sound? Close up, by the strings (not too close, obviously) or further back to get more room sound?
Thanks.
