yup.

one thing I noticed in those practice rooms was it didn't matter where I 
put the meter.  Initially I put the it up about where my ear would be, but 
got the same readings in the pin area of a grand, on the bench next to me 
or on the floor. (it _did_ get some higher readings there - possibly I 
found an anti-node)
