If you can get your hands on a couple of DPA lav mics... they sound very good inside a closed piano. In general small mics spread out is where you want to be going with this.

Take a look at earthworks new bar:

But I also had great results myself with the lid almost closed and AKG ALS 480 line with capsule extension cords or swivel joints. Also worked with their blueline which was great but not as good as the ULS series.
one can never have to many microphones

Audix used to have one like the Earthworks one, but I couldn't find it on their site....

That earthworks one looks really cool.
