Absolutely. It sounds as if everything above 5 kHz was

cut off somehow. A higher mic position could help, but

I've got the impression that the mics are lacking HF

anyway.

Yes.

Difficult to say since there isn't much ambience.

Well, this isn't a German organ. It also needs some

maintenance, and the registration doesn't help.
I don't fully agree on the benefits of using omnis.

A *good* cardioid will reproduce the bass as well,

even if maybe you need to EQ a few dB. And spaced omnis

on organs or anything that produces long sustained notes

can be a disaster for mono compatibility, unless they are

spaced much more than a meter. And in that case you risk

the 'hole in the middle' or you need at least three mics.
