Is this microphone suitable for piano recording?

This is not suitable for instrument recording. You see that huge high pass rolloff below 100hz? This is for vocals...

How close does this need to be to the source? I have to film 3 people at once and was told I could boom a condenser or cardioid mic. Can this plug

It all depends on your application and the tone you want. I have used this to close mic acoustic guitars, as an overhead for drums, and as a room mic for live acoustic performances and electric guitar amps. It's a versatile mic that performs really well in a lot of situations.

can i connect this mic directly into my DSLR audio jack?

Not sure, most mics connect using a 3-prong XLR Type connector, so I doubt it.

Can I record a saxophone with it?

Yes, it's a great instrument mic.
