Very accomplished playing - I did get the impression of watery-ness from this!   ;D

My only criticism is of the recording quality - it seems the mic is too biased toward the treble/high frequencies. This has produced a very shrill, boxed in sound, which isn't doing justice to your playing at all.

Ideally a piano should be have two microphones - Anyhow, there are many tutorials and articles about this on the net.
When a search is in progress, something will be found.

Thanks, Emill. You haven't seen me smile WITH MY BRACES!
Starstruck, I am aware of the sound problem and we are trying to do something about it. Will probably have to get a separate audio recording device, then sync the image with the sound, which takes some effort but promises to produce better results.
