Re: dynamic mics and speaker coils?
Pretty sure the inverse square law would negate any observable effect in most real world setups.
But I wonder, maybe if you took a large speaker coil, just the coil, and placed a mic right up inside it.... it would essentially become a (probably very inefficient) transformer.

Re: I'm not a piano technician
So I've always heard about the idea of "stretch tuning," which I understand to be something along the line of, "once you make it out of the middle, ignore the tuner and train/ trust your ears, as harmonic truth and perfect equal temperament are both false trails."
True? Or have I misunderstood?

Re: Mic pre in pedal form?
The jamman is decent, so is the EH 12AY7 if you can get it not to hum.

Re: Non-functionnal reel-to-reel: should I fix before selling?
If you service it yourself, what's your time worth?
What's a good tech's time worth for the same service?
Is a good tech available?
What's the return on investment?
There's an ancillary to "good, fast, cheap: pick 2" in there.

Re: rotating speaker alternative
I did a thing a few years ago with a turntable between the speaker and the mic. On the turntable was a flat wall, so that as the turntable spun it would be blocking or not. Later I made more of a baffle, like a bundle of square wooden tubes. You could put multiple mics around it for stereo and beyo...

Re: For themaya's is recording sessions straight thru,
I've been working on something like this off and on this year. I did all the edits and general utility type stuff in a new file version of the master take, as it helped make sure everything would flow properly and have a general set of sounds appropriate for this specific project. But as I work more...

Bandcamp sold, again
Twice in a year and a half, I wonder what this might bode. Their bandcamp Friday's have seemed to be one of the few good things for small acts in the streaming oriented present
