Agreed @testpilot so when you actually listen in a concert the piano has little to no left right orientation at all as, excluding differences in lengths of the bass vs higher note wires the whole thing is just in one point on the stage for the ideal front center listener, this is usually how we hear many (not over miked) symphony recordings
but for solo or chamber music there are many other choices on where to put the mikes, are any that assume the pianist perspective therefore “wrong”?
