[pianotech] reducing sound transmission

They could use upholstery foam cut to fit in between the beams under the
piano. It cuts well with an electric carving knife.

List -
 
I received a request from a client who is a grad student (piano major)
considering moving his grand to an apartment at school.  He's concerned with
his practicing bothering the neighbors.  He currently has a third floor,
with a someone living below, but a basement level apartment is a
possibility.
 
I've suggested the sound isolating caster cups, foam baffles/blankets under
the piano as well as blankets over the top.  The piano is a Weinbach and
tends towards the brighter end of the spectrum.
 
Any other suggestions I should pass along?  I'm assuming electronic options
are not suitable...
 
Thanks
