The other day I had a great singer in the studio with a very dynamic , loud vocal delivery. I tried some of my great mics but he would distort the capsule of the mic every so often. Ask him to back up on some of his parts and play the mic, no luck.
So the mic that ended up working for the session was the Shure SM7B Cardioid Dynamic. I used a tube mic pre and let him rip. The mic worked great for his style of singing. Binary Recording Studio
Mastering is a high art! It takes a special set of ears to put the final touches to a song / album / film.
Aside from the over all sound you need to be very aware of the levels. We do a lot of mastering for film / PBS, Discovery Channel, etc... which has very specific needs.
One of the software tools we use is Steinbergs Wavelab. Recommended!
We are setup to do remote recording. Often a musician will need to record on their favorite piano or location. If you're doing a show that you would like recorded we can help you. Binary Recording Studio

Recording piano's to represent the quality of a great piano and player is different every time. I have seen that some studios / engineers have a one way method that they use to capture the sound.
I have found that the piano which is really a percussion instrument sounds different with every player. It really depends on the style and how the player strikes the keys of the instrument. One player seems to play in such a way that the sound is brighter or darker.
This require possible different mics / setup then what you may have used before. Binary Recording Studio
