Tom,
My experience is just with one piano. I ordered a top cover and bottom
pre-cut foam from Edwards. If I had to do this over again, I'd buy a sheet
or two of acoustic foam, and cut it to fit the piano.  That's all the bottom
foam is from Edwards.  And the top piece has the same type foam with a cloth
cover.  Granted, it's custom-fit to the piano, which is nice.  But quite
expensive.  Seems like the pre-cut foam was $110 (for a Yamaha G1). Three or
four pieces that wedge in between the beams.  Easily done for less on the
bottom pieces with a sheet of foam and a sharp knife.

That, along with voicing, made the customer very happy.

I remember from my Googling "acoustic foam" after that experience, that
there are different grades of the stuff.  More dense, more reduction.
