Nice video! Mic ended up sounding great. However, that mic placement at the end is odd... which explains why most of the audio is in the left channel. These mics are meant to be mounted vertically, not horizontally.
Thanks for excellent and instructive video. Why didn't you get that Steinway tuned before recording? It's frightful!! (I was Piano Tuner to the LPO and Glyndebourne Opera for 26 years.

You're right, it should've be mounted vertically for the piano. That was my first time using a blumlein microphone.
Which transformer did you choose?
Also great build & thank you for posting this it will go a long way to help when I build my Austin mic's
The transformers are the AUSTIN OTA-1.

So cool! Where did you get the corregater?
It came with the microphone kit: www.austinmics.com/diy-kits/
great video. is that mesh brass or copper?
Is it a 3 or 5 pin XLR? If it only has 3 pins how can you hear the stereo effect?
It has two 3-Pin XLR connectors (One on top and one on bottom)
@@LongbowMedia Oh! I see now. How did I miss that. Thanks
