I'm no soundman or expert, but I have been interested in getting into
home recording with a PC. Anyway, there are a good set of pages at
http://homerecording.miningco.com/ that deal with more than just the
hobbyist level of recording/sound systems.
For miking a piano see the following articles:

Other features (like what the aux sends do on the mixer, pre/post
sends, EQ, miking drums, etc):
