Full article over at Gizmag: gizmag.com/video-exclusive-leonard-grigoryan-tests-paul-kinnys-stereo-acoustic-guitar/11857/

We've separated the tracks out so you can hear what each microphone adds to the mix:

Right dynamic mic (Shure Beta 58): accentuates the big bass frequencies coming out of the extra resonant chamber on the Kinny guitar.

Left dynamic mic (Shure Beta 58): accentuates trebles and string noises.

Both dynamic mics panned L-R: here's where the stereo effect becomes obvious, listening to this in headphones is something like the experience of playing the guitar.

Both dynamics in stereo pan plus condenser (Neumann TLM 103): The condenser adds a nice room sound. This is the final mix we used on the MP3s at the Gizmag article.

    This guitar, dubbed 'elephant' by Leonard Grigoryan, is remarkable when you listen to it on Vimeo's HD setting and with SRS iWow set up on your pc. I'm using Creative Labs stereo speakers with powered sub. The room rattled on the bass notes. Great impression and feedback.

    Check out the MP3s at the main giz article JD, the other models record beautifully too. :)
