"I've an upright piano, which has been slightly modified with felt and other things, and which I've had a pickup built into.

Then there's the grand piano, which has also been modified, in a way that I think sounds right for a grand piano. It's pretty chaotic sometimes to sound check on a busy festival schedule.
