Foam Baffles

[Mitch Staples]

Jeff,

I have a professors with two 9' pianos in her studio.  To reduce the volume
I took acoustic foam pads and cut them to fit between the back posts.  It
works great if she wants a full sound she just opens the lid.  I bought them
from an electronics supply house, Parts Express (800)338-0531
