All you have to do is buy a mega piano and move it into my living room. 14'x26', It has an 8 1/2' ceiling, plaster walls and a brick fireplace, so full resonance gained by opening the lid will be no problem. I'll even turn on the ceiling fan to add that "special" feeling. I'll provide the dB meter and earplugs, and move out all of the other furniture. We can also check the pitch drop, before and after I light a fire in the fireplace, before and after I turn on my room humidifier. We could also measure the floor drop after we move in a 1500# piano. You get to keep my 1890s, 58.5" Nittinger (Phila), "Upright Concert Grand" in "Tiger" oak case. I might even throw in one of my reed organs. Deal?? Happy Millenium!
