Larger piano? was Re: Decibel Levels

[Ken Gerler]

This to confirm the "pounding" and not the "quality" of sound.
I had a church with a Kimball "LaPetite"(4'9") grand which needed a 6' or
larger but when the location for the piano was designed they didn't leave
any more room.  Within the first 6 months I replaced several strings broken
because the pianist was trying to hear the piano over the choir.  I
recommended the mike and monitor for the pianist and now very rarely is
there a broken string.

  A mike, monitor amp and a small speaker =
aimed directly at him mostly solved the problem. While it didn't make =
him a better pianist, he did stop his pounding and everybody was much =
happier by the result.
