[pianotech] Baffling question

[David Weiss]

Hi Mike,

 

I've used the foam baffles a number of times, and I even have them in my
piano at home.  I would say they probably bring about a 15%  reduction in
sound.  Judy Edwards sells them precut on her web site, and says they give a
30% sound reduction, but that has not been my experience.

 

I purchase mine from a company called Markertek, they call it acoustic foam.
. Here's the link;

&asug=. The foam is  inexpensive, and it cuts very easily with an electric
carving knife.

 

Perhaps with the foam baffles, room modifications, and regulation you can
get the job done.

    Hey Gang:

    I visited a customer today with a Yamaha C3 with DisKlavier.  Their
complaint is that it is too loud even turned down.  I explained that the
slate floor and high soaring ceilings don't help and suggested foam baffles.


    What has been your experience, who sells them, and how are they
installed?  Thanks for the info,

    Mike Kurta, RPT
