Jeff,

I have used the Edwards foam baffles for volume reduction on =
Disklaviers. They work OK but not exceedingly well for the $. You can =
make your own ( for much less)  quite easily if you can get some good =
quality dense (density is what cuts the sound) foam sheets. It will cut =
easily with an electric carving knife. For a vertical piano I might try =
attaching a piece of masonite or similiar material to the back or =
otherwise treat the room.

As far as the Edwards' are concerned,  they are terrific people to deal =
with. Usually, they will simply send the items you request and bill you =
for it. Yes they are full time piano technicians and the string covers, =
DCs and baffles etc are a sideline I imagine. Try to sell someone a =
string cover. Although pricey, they offer a remarkable  amount of =
protection. Most clients like them simply because they keep the dust off =
the soundboard! I have a number of clients with string covers and full =
DC systems on their pianos and the tuning stability is remarkably =
improved in every case. I love 'em!

  List,
  Have any of you used the Edwards foam baffles for noise reduction?
  I have a customer with a P22 in a very live room (wood floors, etc.).  =
Is
  this the first line of defense?  The piano is not intrinsically what I =
would
  consider overly bright...  Also, what has it been like dealing with =
the
  company?  I have had only 1 of 3 calls answered - all I ever get is an
  answering machine.  Do they all have day jobs, i.e. is this just a =
sideline
  of theirs?  When you place an order, do you have to leave your credit =
card
  info on the machine?  Difficult way to do business, no?  Thanks for =
your
  input.
