Volume Reducing Ideas?

[Mark Wisner]

I have an elderly customer who has his Baldwin grand at the nursing home with 
him.  We've already added the acoustic foam baffles from Edwards String 
Covers underneath the piano, which reduced the volume, but not enough to 
satisfy the people who work there.  I'm hesitant to recommend adding the top 
cover that they sell, since it doesn't appear from their test results that it 
will reduce the volume significantly, and is somewhat costly.

The only thing that this guy loves in life right now is his piano - plays it 
hours and hours each day.  Of course, as his hearing goes, he's probably also 
playing it louder so that he can hear it.  Any ideas or suggestions that 
would help him be able to continue playing without driving the workers crazy 
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mary Bailey
