Hi Dave. Well, I can certainly tell you all about a LOUD air compressor! =
The direct drive type like the one I have in my shop is very loud. =
Except for the fact that it meets all my compressed air needs, I hate =
the darn thing. Eliminate the direct drive type from your consideration. =
Go for the old-fashioned type that is geared down and has a belt. Now =
which among those is quieter than others, I don't have a clue.

Keep in mind also that for the two pianos you or I string a year, =
chances are your neighbor will run his/her noisy lawnmower many more =
hours than you or I will run an air compressor.

Dreamin' 'bout clams & scallops!!!!!!
