Control grand volume

[Richard Brekne]

Whats the stage made of ?  Sometimes a wooden stage or acoustically 
active stage really helps to boom the piano sound out there... isolating 
the piano by putting a nice thick carpet under it can help a lot in such 
cases. You can also attach a thick peice of material to the underside of 
the rim so that you more or less muffle the sound. I've heard of techs 
stuffing foam rubber into the space between the bracings as well.  Just 
a few thoughts
