Concert Grand Or Baby Grand ???

[leemusicmad]

Hi

If you were given the choice to record a solo piano album of slow "soundtrack music" on a full size Concert Grand or a Baby Grand, what would you choose ?

To put it in perspective I'm referring to a Baby Grand medium 6- 1/2 compared to a full Concert Grand 9-feet.

In your opinion what would be the overall benefit in sound and performance recording on a full Concert Grand as opposed to a medium Baby Grand ? I ask because I've been given the option to record on either both these pianos.

After trialing the two I'm more comfortable with the Baby Grand giving a more authentic ambiance feel upfront that overall suits my style of music. That being said the Concert Grand is a beast being to over powerful with a completely different attack being difficult to express that gentle touch.

I would probably go for the concert grand, but I think that's only because they have a greater versatility of sound than a smaller piano (in general), and since I'd be recording something rather diverse I'd take that option.

Still if it were an album of pieces with a more intimate setting I might be tempted by the smaller piano.

Basically whatever sound that suits what I'm looking for.
