[pianotech] Baffling question

[reggaepass at aol.com]

On occasion I have cut appropriately shaped pieces of three or four inch thick foam (with an "electric knife"--remember those?) and inserted them between the beams.  It does help attenuate the volume somewhat.

I don't have any experience with baffles, but I don't think they will do any good for a piano in a room with a tile floor and high ceiling. It's going to be loud, no matter what you do. Some people don't seem to understand that a piano is not like stereo system that can be turned down to almost nothing.

    Hey Gang:
    I visited a customer today with a Yamaha C3 with DisKlavier.  Their complaint is that it is too loud even turned down.  I explained that the slate floor and high soaring ceilings don't help and suggested foam baffles.  
    What has been your experience, who sells them, and how are they installed?  Thanks for the info,
    Mike Kurta, RPT
