What is accuracy in the case of a piano recording?
A real piano varies in sound based on the make, model, individual build, age of the piano, weather, concert hall/acoustic space, where you sit and who is playing it. A live piano can sound amazing and it can sound abrasive. It can sound anywhere in between.
I want the sound to sound good, preferably wonderful. Whether it is a live piano or a recording. My standards are the same for both and my goals are the same in terms of sound quality. Aesthetic excellence. any "accuracy" (and we will never know)we get with playback is incidental.
I'll tell you what I don't want with recording and playback. An accurate rendering of bad sound.
