Should a grand piano and drum kit sound bigger than everything else? If Baldrick played his triangle how big should that be? :grin:

The “size” of an instrument in the sound stage will depend on how it was mic’d and how the signal/s were processed by the engineer. Two mics panned hard left and right will make a triangle sound huge, one mic can make a piano sound small but intelligent use of the equipment will result in a realistic “size”.
