Default I need an experienced Schoeps user\'s opinion.

Does anyone have experience with Schoeps microphones? I am looking for a stereo pair of mics for recording a baby grand piano; someone suggested a Schoeps MK21 wide cardioid capsule. The Schoeps microphone line is appealing because of the many capsules that are interchangeable with the microphone body. I just need to know how they sound and would appreciate some opinions. There is not a dealer in my area so I am not able to demo a pair.
Thanks, Rick

These are NICE microphones and definitely some favorites for live concert recording..... BUT you should also look into a Royer SF12 stereo ribbon microphone. I've used this on piano myself (Yamaha C7) and it's the BEST sound I've ever had.... went straight into a Grace 801 into an 888/24.

Many people consider the Schoeps microphones to be the most natural sounding condensers made.

Pros have never blinked at paying nearly twice what they now sell for from their new importer.
