Ah, good point. One of the mics has only a cardoid pattern but the other has a figure-8 switch that I need to make sure stays off. It's also got a -10dB pad and a low-end rolloff switch. Since it's a female vocalist, I think I'm going to try the rolloff since that should help exclude the bass of the piano even more. Got a pop filter for the vocal mic already, so we should be good to go.
It's going to be fun. A mother-daughter pair - well actually, mother-daughter-daughter trio, but only one daughter is singing at a time. No duets that I know of. An immensely talented family and a great-sounding room with a huge ceiling. This won't need any processing beyond getting the levels up, assuming I do my job well. I'll put a track or two up in the Songs forum early next week.
