Hi Bob,
 
Judi Edwards supplies the foam inserts (specifically for Disklaviers)
cut to the proper shapes of the cavities between the beams. I've never
found them to be all that effective. Reducing volume requires mass,
something that foam does not possess much of. If you can find a source
of high density foam (usually several inches thick), cut it with an
electric carving knife to fit. works better but not completely effective
either. Controlling volume is better handled by voicing methods - both
the piano and the environment (think drapes, rugs etc..) Disklaviers
also need to be properly calibrated to  better define their dynamic
range during playback.

I think I remember someone mentioning a source of  foam for stuffing
between the beams of pianos, even pre-cut for Yamaha models. Anyone
remember what I'm talking about?

Thanks,
Bob Davis
